Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. Rinse the chicken wings in cold water, pat them dry with paper towels, and arrange in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
  3. Sprinkle half of the salt over the wings, then bake for 20 minutes until they begin to turn golden brown.
  4. Flip each wing, sprinkle with remaining salt, and bake for an additional 20 minutes until crisp and golden.
  5. While wings bake, combine water, balsamic vinegar, soy sauce, sugar, chili sauce, minced garlic, ginger, curry powder, and lime juice in a skillet and bring to a low boil for 5-7 minutes until thickened.
  6. Transfer baked wings to the skillet and toss to coat in the glaze, allowing them to char slightly.
  7. Plate the wings and garnish with sesame seeds, green onions, and red chilies if desired.
