Ingredients

For the Chicken Wings

3 pounds party-style chicken wings if your chicken wings are whole, see tip above
2 tablespoons melted butter
1 teaspoon paprika sweet or smoked, see tip above
1 teaspoon onion powder
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

For the Honey Garlic Sauce

1/4 cup tamari sauce or soy sauce
1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Chopped fresh parsley for serving optional

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or foil. Place a wire rack on the baking sheet.
Place the chicken wings in a large bowl, add the melted butter and toss to coat. Add the paprika, onion powder, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper and toss to coat. Transfer the wings to the prepared pan and spread them out so they don’t touch each other. Use two pans with racks if necessary.
Bake for 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together the tamari sauce, honey, tomato paste, sesame oil, and garlic powder.
After the wings have cooked for 30 minutes, brush them with the honey garlic sauce. Return the wings to the oven and bake for 10 more minutes, until cooked through (165 degrees on an instant-read meat thermometer) and crispy.
Top with parsley, if using, and serve.
