  3. Toss the chicken wings in cornstarch until they are lightly coated.
Cooking
  1. Place the wings on a baking sheet in a single layer, and bake them for 40-45 minutes, turning halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.
  2. Remove the wings from the oven and toss them in the prepared glaze until they are fully coated.

Notes

For deeper flavor, marinate the chicken wings in the glaze for a few hours or overnight before baking. For extra crispiness, broil the wings for the last 3-5 minutes of baking. Experiment with different citrus juices for variations in flavor.
