Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat the oven to 400°F. Pat dry 2 pounds of chicken wings and toss them with 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Arrange the wings on a wire rack over a baking sheet and roast for 40 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crisp.
2. Step 2: Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, combine 1/4 cup honey, 3 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon sriracha sauce, and 3 cloves minced garlic. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook for 4-5 minutes until the glaze thickens slightly and becomes fragrant.
3. Step 3: Remove the wings from the oven and immediately toss them in the warm honey glaze until fully coated. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds evenly over the wings and serve hot.
