Instructions

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with foil and place a wire rack on top.
Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels. Season them lightly with salt and black pepper.
Arrange the wings in a single layer on the wire rack and bake for 35-40 minutes, turning halfway through, until the skin is crispy and cooked through.
While the wings bake, prepare the sweet chili sauce by combining sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, and crushed red pepper flakes in a small saucepan over medium heat.
Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer and cook for 3-4 minutes. If you want a thicker sauce, stir in the cornstarch slurry and cook for another 1-2 minutes until thickened. Remove from heat.
When the wings are done baking, transfer them to a large bowl. Pour the warm sweet chili sauce over the wings and toss to coat evenly.
Return the coated wings to the rack and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes to let the glaze set.
Garnish with chopped scallions and sesame seeds before serving warm.

Notes

For extra crispiness, pat wings thoroughly dry before baking and avoid overcrowding the rack. Serve with a side of cooling ranch or blue cheese dressing.
