STICKY GLAZED WINGS
WINGS: 4 lb chicken wings, split into drumettes and flats, tips removed; 1 1/2 T aluminum-free baking powder; 1/2 t fine salt; 1/2 t ground black pepper; 1 t garlic powder; 1 t onion powder; 1 t paprika.
STICKY SAUCE (about 1 cup: 1/3 cup to coat, rest for the side): 3/4 c honey; 6 T soy sauce; 3 T rice vinegar or lemon juice; 4 cloves garlic minced; 1 1/2 T grated ginger; 1 t toasted sesame oil; 1 T cornstarch; 2 T cold water.
Sesame seeds and sliced scallions for serving (optional).
INSTRUCTIONS: Pat wings very dry. Toss with baking powder, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika until evenly coated. Arrange in a single layer on a wire rack over a rimmed sheet pan (foil then parchment for easy cleanup). Do not crowd. Bake at 250 F for 30 minutes. Raise oven to 425 F and bake 30-35 minutes more, flipping once, until deep golden. Meanwhile combine all sauce ingredients except cornstarch and water in a small pot; simmer over medium heat, stirring often, 5-10 minutes until lightly syrupy. Mix cornstarch and water, add to pot. Pour 1/3 cup of sauce into a second small pot; simmer 2-3 more minutes until very thick and tacky - this is the coating glaze. Pour the rest into a jar for the side sauce; let cool. Toss hot wings in the coating glaze until lightly and evenly coated, about 1 tsp per piece; do not add more. Lift wings with tongs into a foil pan, single layer if possible; leave pan drippings behind. Cool uncovered 20-30 minutes. Cover loosely with foil and refrigerate within 2 hours; refrigerate side sauce in its jar.
SHABBAT LUNCH: covered wings on the warming tray straight from the fridge, allow plenty of time. Side sauce out 30 minutes before serving; stir and thin with 1-2 tsp water if too thick; serve at room temp.
