Instructions
For the Chicken Wings:
Preheat oven to 400F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, add chicken wings and avocado oil. Toss chicken wings until completely covered in the avocado oil. Sprinkle with salt, pepper and garlic powder and toss to combine.
Place in a single layer on the baking sheet. Bake at 400F for 40-45 minutes, flipping half way through, or until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165F.
Change the oven setting to broil. Broil for 5 minutes, until the skin is crispy. Remove from the oven.
Add the chicken wings to a clean bowl and pour sauce (recipe below) over the chicken wings until covered. Place on a serving platter and sprinkle with chopped green onions.
For the Sauce:
Make the sauce while the chicken wings are baking in the oven.
In a small saucepan, combine honey, garlic, tamari, and sriracha. Heat over medium, stirring until the honey has dissolved into the sauce.
Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally.
Mix the cornstarch and water in a small bowl, whisking until there are no more clumps and add mixture to the sauce, stirring until combined.
Turn the heat to medium-low, and stir until the sauce has thickened. Allow to cook an additional 5-10 minutes.
Cool slightly until ready to toss with the chicken wings.
