Wash the 14 pieces of chicken wings thoroughly under cold running water. Pat them completely dry with paper towels. Make two shallow slits on each chicken wing to help with marination and cooking. Place the prepared chicken wings in a large mixing bowl.

Slice the 1 thumb size piece of ginger thinly. Cut the 3 stalks of scallions into small pieces. Add the sliced ginger, chopped scallions, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper, 1 tablespoon of cooking wine, and 1 teaspoon of soy sauce to the chicken wings in the bowl. Mix all the ingredients thoroughly with your hands, ensuring each wing is well-coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and marinate for at least 30 minutes at room temperature, or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.

While the chicken wings are marinating, prepare the sauce. In a small bowl, combine 1 teaspoon of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of oyster sauce, 2 tablespoons of honey, 1/2 teaspoon of sugar, and 1 tablespoon of warm water. Whisk until all ingredients are well combined and the sugar is dissolved.

Heat a large pan or skillet over medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons of oil (or more, as needed) to coat the bottom of the pan. Once the oil is hot and shimmering, carefully place the marinated chicken wings in the pan in a single layer, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. You may need to cook them in batches.

Fry the chicken wings for 5-7 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and crispy on both sides. Ensure they are cooked through before proceeding.

Once all the wings are golden brown, return them all to the pan if cooked in batches. Pour the prepared honey sauce evenly over the chicken wings. Stir gently to coat all the wings with the sauce. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover the pan with a lid, and let the wings simmer in the sauce for 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

Remove the lid and continue to cook on medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, for another 3-5 minutes, or until the sauce thickens and beautifully coats the chicken wings. The sauce should be glossy and reduced.

Transfer the honey chicken wings to a serving platter. Garnish with toasted sesame seeds, if desired, before serving hot.
