Get ready to fill your kitchen with the irresistible aroma of these wings. Here’s how to make them:

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top. This setup ensures the wings get crispy all over.
2. In a large bowl, toss the chicken wings with 1 tablespoon of sesame oil, ensuring they’re well coated.
3. Arrange the wings in a single layer on the wire rack. Bake for 45 minutes, turning halfway through, until they’re golden brown and crispy.
4. While the wings are baking, create the sticky sauce. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine soy sauce, honey, remaining sesame oil, garlic, rice vinegar, and chili flakes. Stir and bring to a simmer.
5. In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Add this to the saucepan and stir until the sauce thickens, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat.
6. Once the wings are done, toss them in the sauce until well coated. Sprinkle sesame seeds and chopped green onions on top before serving.

I find that using a wire rack is a game-changer for getting that perfect crispiness. It’s a little trick I picked up from my own kitchen experiments—back when I was learning that not all ovens are created equal!
