Ingredients:
- 2 lb. chicken wings
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 1 tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- ¼ cup honey
- ¼ cup soy sauce
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp cornstarch

Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 400F. Arrange the baking sheet with parchment paper. Mix the garlic with onion powder, paprika, cumin, chili powder, salt, and crushed pepper in a bowl. Add the wings and toss them in the spice mixture.
- Put the chicken wings on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 37-40 minutes until they are cooked and crisp. While the wings are baking, make the sticky sauce. Mix the honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, olive oil, and cornstarch in a small saucepan.
