Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Rinse the chicken wings under cold water and pat them dry. Sprinkle half of the salt over the wings and arrange them on the baking sheet.
  3. Bake the wings for 20 minutes. Flip the wings and sprinkle the remaining salt on top. Bake for another 20 minutes until golden and crispy.
  4. In a skillet, combine water, balsamic vinegar, soy sauce, sugar, chili sauce, minced garlic, minced ginger, curry powder, and lime juice. Whisk together and bring to a low boil.
  5. Simmer the sauce for 5-7 minutes until it thickens. Once the wings are done, toss them in the sauce until coated.
  6. Transfer wings to a serving platter. Sprinkle with sesame seeds, chopped green onions, and red chilies before serving.
