instructions
    1

    Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius).

    2

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the orange juice, honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, and red pepper flakes. Mix well to create the marinade.

    3

    Add the chicken wings to the marinade, making sure they are fully coated. Allow them to marinate for at least 30 minutes. If you can let them sit longer, up to 2 hours in the refrigerator, that will enhance the flavor.

    4

    Place the marinated chicken wings on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper in a single layer.

    5

    Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, turning halfway through, until the wings are golden brown and cooked through.

    6

    While the wings are baking, chop the green onions and set them aside.

    7

    Once the wings are done, remove them from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes.

    8

    Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds before serving.

How to be creative
  • Add some zest by incorporating orange zest into the marinade.

  • Try a dipping sauce like a sweet chili sauce or ranch dressing for additional flavor.
Important Tips
  • Make sure to coat the wings evenly in the marinade for maximum flavor.
  • If you want crispier wings, broil them for the last 3-5 minutes of baking.
  • Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes according to your spice preference.
