Preheat oven to 250°F and place racks at the lowest and top positions.

Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels.

In a large bowl or ziplock bag, toss wings with baking powder, salt, and pepper to coat evenly.

Line a baking sheet with foil and set a wire rack inside. Spray with cooking spray.

Arrange wings on the wire rack in a single layer, skin side up, without touching.

Brush or spray wings with vegetable oil.

Bake at 250°F for 30 minutes to render fat.

Increase oven temperature to 400°F and move wings to top rack. Bake for an additional 45-50 minutes until crispy and golden.

While wings bake, prepare the honey soy sauce: bring honey, soy sauce, garlic, ginger, and water to a boil, then simmer until reduced to 1/4 cup.

Once wings are done, toss them in the sauce or serve it on the side.
