Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels; this helps them get crispy in the oven. Place them in a large mixing bowl.
Add the minced garlic, black pepper, and sesame oil to the bowl. Toss everything together until the wings are evenly coated with the aromatics.
Arrange the wings in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they aren’t crowded so they can crisp up nicely.
Bake the wings for 25 to 30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the skin is golden and crispy.
While the wings are baking, whisk together soy sauce and honey in a small bowl to make a glossy glaze.
Once the wings are cooked, transfer them to a large bowl and pour the soy sauce glaze over them. Toss gently to coat evenly, creating a shiny, dark coating.
Place the coated wings back on the baking sheet and bake for an additional 5 minutes to set the glaze and intensify the shine.
Remove the wings from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes. Optional: shape some wings into bat-like silhouettes for your spooky presentation.
Serve your Halloween Bat Wings hot, garnished with sliced green onions or sesame seeds if desired for extra flair.
