These baked and pan-tossed chicken wings have simple flavors, but are SO addictive. Slightly sweet and a huge amount of black pepper give them amazing flavors!

¼cupcorn starch, for dusting
3tablespoonsunsalted butter
2red chilis
3large shallots
4clovesgarlic
2inchesfresh ginger, chopped
¼cupsoy sauce
1tablespoonsugar
1tablespoonsesame oil

Instructions
Dust wings in cornstarch. Lay out on a baking sheet lined with foil for easier cleanup. Bake wings at 375 degrees F. for 35-40 minutes until they are cooked through.
Meanwhile, prep other ingredients: Chop chilis, chop shallots, peel garlic (but leave whole), and chop ginger. Coarsely grind black pepper. Whisk together soy sauce, sesame oil, vinegar, and sugar.
When wings are done, heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Melt butter and add shallot, chili, ginger, and garlic cloves. Cook for 2-3 minutes and then remove garlic cloves once they start to take on some color.
Add soy sauce mixture to the skillet along with baked chicken wings and black pepper. Toss together vigorously to coat the wings in the sauce. It should thicken very quickly.
Serve wings immediately garnished with fresh scallions.
