Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).

In a bowl, whisk together honey, lemon juice, soy sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, and black pepper.

Add chicken wings to the marinade and toss to coat evenly. Let marinate for at least 30 minutes.

Line a baking sheet with foil and place a wire rack on top.

Arrange marinated chicken wings on the rack, skin side up, and drizzle with vegetable oil.

Bake in preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, turning halfway through, until wings are golden and crispy.

Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, combine cornstarch and water to create a slurry.

Add the remaining marinade to the saucepan and heat over medium until thickened, about 3-5 minutes.

Remove wings from the oven and brush with the thickened sauce.

Sprinkle with red pepper flakes and lime zest before serving.

Garnish with chopped green onions.
