👩🍳 How to Make It
Step 1: Prep the Wings
Pat the chicken wings completely dry with paper towels (moisture is the enemy of crispiness!). Toss them in a bowl with cornstarch, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until fully coated.
Step 2: Cook (Air Fryer Method)
Place wings in the Air Fryer basket in a single layer. Cook at 400°F (200°C) for 20 minutes, flipping them halfway through. They should be golden brown and crunchy.
Step 3: The Sticky Sauce
While wings are cooking, combine honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, and ginger in a small saucepan over medium heat. Let it bubble and simmer for 3-4 minutes until it thickens slightly into a glaze.
Step 4: Toss & Serve
Place the hot, crispy wings into a large bowl. Pour the sticky glaze over them and toss until every wing is coated. Garnish with sesame seeds or green onions if you like!
