Reduce the heat to medium. Add most of the chopped green onions (reserve a small amount for garnish) and the minced garlic to the pan. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, stirring constantly to prevent burning.

Pour in the soy sauce, chili flakes, and sweet chili sauce. Stir well to combine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.

Return the browned chicken wings to the pan, nestling them into the sauce. Ensure all wings are coated.
