Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).

In a bowl, mix sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, minced garlic, minced ginger, honey, and lime juice.

Add chicken wings to the bowl and coat them evenly with the marinade.

Let the wings marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight in the refrigerator.

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and arrange the wings in a single layer.

Drizzle the wings with vegetable oil and season with salt and black pepper.

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, turning halfway through, until crispy and cooked through.

Remove from the oven and sprinkle with sesame seeds and chopped green onions before serving.
