How to Make Sweet And Sour Chicken Wings

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a large jelly-roll pan with non-stick foil for easy cleanup.
Arrange 2 lbs of chicken wings in a single layer on the prepared pan.
In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup ketchup, 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon cornstarch, 1 teaspoon grated ginger, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional), and a pinch of black pepper.
Pour the sweet and sour sauce evenly over the chicken wings, ensuring they are well coated.
Bake for 60-65 minutes, or until the wings are cooked through and the sauce is caramelized and slightly sticky, flipping halfway through.
Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm or cold!
