Season the chicken wings with salt and pepper, then toss them in the cornstarch until lightly coated. Add the oil and mix thoroughly.
Spread the wings on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for about 35-40 minutes, until golden brown and crispy. Flip them halfway through.
Meanwhile, prepare the dipping sauce: Peel and mince the garlic. Heat some oil in a pan and briefly sauté the garlic. Add honey, soy sauce, vinegar, and water. Simmer for about 3–5 minutes, until the sauce thickens slightly.
Remove the baked wings from the oven, place them in a large bowl, and immediately pour the hot sauce over them. Toss well until the wings are completely coated and serve immediately.
Notes
A yogurt dip and celery sticks are great company for this meal!
