Instructions

Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F. Pat 2 lbs chicken wings dry, then toss with 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper, and 1 tbsp baking powder until evenly coated. Place wings on a wire rack set over a baking sheet.
Step 2: Bake wings for 40-45 minutes, flipping halfway, until skin is crisp and golden.
Step 3: Meanwhile, in a small saucepan over medium heat, combine 1/3 cup fresh orange juice, 1 tsp orange zest, 2 tbsp honey, 2 tbsp soy sauce, 2 minced garlic cloves, 1 tsp minced ginger, 1/4 tsp red chili flakes, and 1 tbsp rice vinegar. Bring to a simmer.
Step 4: Stir in the cornstarch slurry (1 tsp cornstarch with 2 tsp water) and cook for 1-2 minutes until glaze thickens and becomes shiny.
Step 5: Toss the baked wings in the orange glaze until fully coated. Serve immediately for sticky, sweet, and spicy wings.
