Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with foil and place a cooling rack on top to allow air circulation around the wings.
Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture, ensuring they'll crisp up nicely in the oven.
Season the wings with salt and pepper, then arrange them evenly on the cooling rack in a single layer.
Bake the wings in the preheated oven for about 40 minutes, turning once halfway through, until they are golden and crispy.
While the wings bake, combine soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, and sesame oil in a small saucepan. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over low heat, stirring occasionally.
Let the sauce simmer for 3-5 minutes until it thickens slightly and becomes glossy, filling the kitchen with a fragrant aroma.
Remove the baked wings from the oven and transfer them to a large bowl.
Pour the warm soy glaze over the wings and toss gently to coat each piece evenly with the dark, shiny sauce.
Arrange the glazed wings on a serving platter, ensuring they look dark and glossy, resembling tiny bat wings ready to flutter in the night.
Optional: Use a small brush or toothpick to add extra dark glaze or garnish for a more spooky, Halloween-themed presentation.
Serve the wings hot, enjoying their crispy skin and savory-sweet glaze that look as fun as they taste.
