Step-by-Step Instructions
Preparing the Chicken Wings:
- Season the Wings: Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels. In a large bowl, toss the wings with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and corn starch until evenly coated.
- Cook the Wings:
- For Frying: Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan to 350°F (175°C). Fry the wings in batches for 8-10 minutes or until golden and crispy. Drain on paper towels.
- For Baking: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Place the wings on a greased baking rack set over a baking sheet. Bake for 40-45 minutes, flipping halfway through.
Preparing the Honey Garlic Sauce:
- Cook the Sauce: In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Add Honey and Soy Sauce: Stir in honey and soy sauce. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat.
- Thicken the Sauce: Add the corn starch slurry and stir until the sauce thickens. Add red pepper flakes if desired.
Combining the Wings and Sauce:
- Coat the Wings: Toss the cooked wings in the honey garlic sauce until fully coated.
- Serve: Arrange the wings on a platter and garnish with sesame seeds or chopped green onions if desired. Serve hot.
