Krista s Sticky Honey Garlic Wings

24 chicken wings, split and tips discarded

¾ cup packed brown sugar

5 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger root

2 ½ cups water

5 tablespoons honey

¼ cup reduced-sodium soy sauce

3 tablespoons cornstarch

¾ cup water

Preheat an oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

Arrange the chicken wings on a baking sheet; bake until crisp, 35 to 45 minutes. Transfer the wings to a baking dish.

Mix together the brown sugar, garlic, ginger, 2 1/2 cups water, honey, and soy sauce in a saucepan over medium-high heat; bring to a boil. Whisk together the cornstarch and 3/4 cup water in a small bowl; stir into the sauce mixture until thickened; pour over the chicken wings to coat.

Return wings to oven and bake until the sauce is bubbling and the chicken is no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, 15 to 20 minutes.
