Halloween Bat Wings with Sweet Soy Glaze

Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F) and line a baking tray with foil or parchment for easy cleanup.
Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels until they feel slightly tacky; this helps the glaze stick better and promotes crispiness.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and chili flakes until well combined and slightly thickened.
Add the chicken wings to the bowl with the marinade, tossing to coat each piece thoroughly. Cover and let marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for deeper flavor.
Arrange the marinated wings in a single layer on the prepared baking tray, spacing them evenly to ensure crisp edges.
Bake the wings in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, turning them once halfway through. Look for golden, crispy edges and a bubbling marinade that coats each piece thickly.
Halfway through baking, use a silicone brush to baste the wings generously with the marinade, building a glossy, sticky coating that will caramelize beautifully.
Once cooked, remove the wings from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute and the glaze to set, resulting in a shiny, sticky finish.
Serve the wings hot, optionally garnished with sesame seeds or chopped green onions for extra flair. Enjoy the crispy, sticky, sweet-savory bites that resemble Halloween bat wings!
