Instructions

Prepare the marinade

In a large bowl, combine soy sauce, hoisin sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger. Mix well.

Pro tip: Ensure the garlic and ginger are finely minced for even distribution of flavour.

Marinate the wings

Add the chicken wings to the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight for best results.

Pro tip: Use a zip-top bag for easy marinating and clean-up.

Preheat the oven

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Coat the wings

Remove wings from the marinade and pat dry. Dredge each wing in cornstarch, shaking off excess.

Pro tip: Patting the wings dry helps the cornstarch stick better, resulting in a crispier texture.

Bake the wings

Arrange the wings in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.

Pro tip: Ensure the wings have space between them to allow even baking.

Serve

Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with green onions if desired.
