Step-by-Step Instructions

Pat the chicken wings dry to remove excess moisture. Dust with cornstarch for an even coating. Spray with neutral oil.
Choose your cooking method: Bake at 400°F for 30 minutes, air fry at 360°F for 25 minutes, or deep fry in oil at 350°F for 8 minutes.
Make the sauce by combining honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, rice vinegar, Sriracha, tomato paste, and grated ginger in a saucepan. Simmer for 8-10 minutes until thickened.
Toss the cooked wings in the sauce until thoroughly coated. Serve immediately.
