Begin by patting the chicken wings dry with paper towels, then season with salt and pepper.

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and arrange the wings on a wire rack over a baking sheet.

Bake for 40-45 minutes, flipping halfway through until golden-brown and crispy.

In a saucepan, melt butter and sauté minced garlic for 1 minute, then add honey, soy sauce, vinegar, and red pepper flakes.

Let the sauce simmer for 3-5 minutes to thicken.

Transfer cooked wings to a bowl, drizzle the sauce over them, and toss to coat thoroughly.

Serve warm on a platter, garnished with green onions or sesame seeds if desired.
