    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven too 400F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a rack on it, coat the rack with non-stick spray.*
  2. Wash the wings, pat dry them so they are completely dry.
  3. Season both sides with salt and pepper, place the wings on the rack.
  4. Bake in the oven for 15 minutes.
  5. Flip the wings and cook for another 15 minutes.**
  6. Toss the wings in a bowl with the secret sauce.
  7. Garnish with some green onions and sesame seeds.
  8. Serve hot.
Secret sauce:
  1. Mix cornstarch and water in a small bowl.
  2. Heat oil in a sauce pan over medium heat.
  3. Saute garlic for one minute.
  4. Add the rest of the ingredients + cornstarch and water to the saute garlic.
  5. Cook for 10-15 minutes until the sauce thickens.
  6. Taste and adjust to your preference. (more soy sauce for saltiness, more brown sugar for sweetness and more pomegranate molasses for sourness)

Notes

  • Baking the wings on a rack helps them cook evenly. If you don't have a rack, just bake them on the baking sheet that is lined with aluminum foil and coated with non-stick spray. *Cooking time doesn't change for more wings.
