Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

In a large bowl, combine honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, black pepper, sesame oil, rice vinegar, and red pepper flakes.

Add chicken wings to the bowl and toss until well coated in the marinade.

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

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

Arrange the marinated chicken wings on the rack in a single layer, skin side up.

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

While the wings are baking, mix cornstarch with water in a small bowl to create a slurry.

After baking, brush the wings with the cornstarch slurry and return to the oven for an additional 5-10 minutes until the glaze is thick and shiny.

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

Garnish with chopped green onions before serving.
