Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

In a large bowl, combine honey, hot sauce, melted butter, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper.

Add chicken wings to the bowl and toss to coat evenly with the sauce mixture.

Arrange the wings in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, flipping halfway through until crispy and golden.

While the wings bake, prepare the hot honey glaze by combining honey and vinegar in a small saucepan over low heat.

Simmer the glaze for 5-7 minutes until slightly thickened, stirring occasionally.

Remove the wings from the oven and brush with the hot honey glaze.

Return the wings to the oven and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes to caramelize the glaze.

Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes.

Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds before serving.
