Instructions

For the Chicken Wings

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place an oven-safe wire baking rack inside. Set pan aside.
Pat chicken wings dry with paper towels, then transfer chicken wings to a large bowl.
3 pounds chicken wings
Add baking powder, sea salt, and black pepper to bowl, then toss chicken wings to coat.
1 tablespoon baking powder, 1 teaspoon fine sea salt, 1 pinch black pepper
Arrange chicken wings on rack in prepared baking sheet, spacing them so that the chicken wings do not touch.
Bake chicken wings for 40-45 minutes or until wings are a light golden brown.

For the Teriyaki Sauce

While chicken cooks, add 1 cup water, soy sauce, brown sugar, honey, ground ginger, and garlic powder in a saucepan over medium heat. Let mixture come to a boil, whisking frequently.
1 1/4 cups water, 1/4 cup soy sauce, 1/4 cup light brown sugar, 2 tablespoons honey, 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger, 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
While sauce comes to a boil, create a slurry by adding remaining 1/4 cup water and cornstarch to a small bowl, then whisking until cornstarch is dissolved.
1 1/4 cups water, 2 tablespoon cornstarch
Pour the slurry in the saucepan, then bring the sauce back to a boil, whisking frequently. Once boiling, cook for 1-2 minutes or until desired thickness is reached. For best results, sauce should easily coat the back of a spoon.
Remove teriyaki sauce from heat and let cool slightly, about 5-10 minutes.

Putting it all Together

Once chicken wings are baked, place them in a large bowl and pour 3/4 cup of the prepared teriyaki sauce on top. Use a spatula or a pair of tongs to toss the chicken wings until they are coated in sauce.
Serve teriyaki chicken wings immediately with green onion and sesame seeds for garnish.
