Sweet and Sour Chicken Wings

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

2. 2

   Place the chicken wings on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

3. 3

   Bake the wings in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, turning them halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.

4. 4

   While the wings are baking, prepare the sauce. In a medium saucepan, combine the ketchup, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, soy sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, and chili flakes.

5. 5

   Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally.

6. 6

   In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with water to create a slurry.

7. 7

   Add the cornstarch slurry to the sauce and stir well. Continue to simmer until the sauce thickens, about 2-3 minutes.

8. 8

   Once the wings are done, remove them from the oven and place them in a large bowl.

9. 9

   Pour the sweet and sour sauce over the wings and toss them until they are evenly coated.

10. 10

    Serve the sweet and sour chicken wings hot, garnished with chopped green onions or sesame seeds if desired.
