3/4 cup flour
1/2 tsp fine salt, heaping
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp ground black pepper
2 to 2 1/2 lbs chicken wings
1 TBSP oil
- For the Honey Garlic Sauce:
3 TBSP brown sugar
5 cloves garlic, crushed
1/2 inch piece of ginger, grated
1/3 cup honey
3 TBSP soy sauce
1/2 tsp chili flakes or Sambal Oelek
1 TBSP rice vinegar or lime juice
1/3 cups water
1 tsp cornstarch
Salt, to taste
Directions
- Line a baking sheet with foil and fit it with wire racks on top. Lightly grease the wire racks.
- Combine flour, garlic powder, salt and pepper in a large Ziplock bag and shake to mix. Add chicken wings and shake, making sure they are well coated. Remove wings, shaking off the excess flour and transfer to the prepared wire racks. Refrigerate uncovered for 1-4 hours.
- When ready to cook, preheat oven to 425F. Lightly drizzle the chicken wings with oil, or better yet, if possible, use a sprayable oil to give them a light coat of oil
- Bake in preheated oven for 35-50 minutes until crips and cooked through. Mine were perfect in 45 minutes.
- In the meantime, combine the sauce ingredients in a small pot (except cornstarch). Simmer over medium low heat for about 5 minutes to reduce slightly. Mix cornstarch with about a tablespoon of water, making a cornstarch flurry. Add it to the sauce, while stirring, and continue simmering for another 5 minutes or so until the sauce is thickened. Set aside.
- Add chicken wings to the sauce and toss to coat. Place the chicken wings back onto the wire racks and broil on high for 3-5 minutes, until browned in spots but not burned. Watch closely and don’t walk away during the broiling process. Remove from the oven and serve garnish with sesame seeds, green onions, lime wedges and pomegranate, if using.
