Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top.
Pat the 2 pounds of wings dry with paper towels.
In a large bowl, add the wings, 1/4 cup corn starch, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp paprika, and a dash of salt and pepper. Toss until the wings are evenly coated.
Arrange the coated wings in a single layer on the wire rack (do not overcrowd).
Bake 50–60 minutes, flipping once halfway through (about 25–30 minutes), until the wings are golden and cooked through.
While the wings bake, make the sauce: heat a pan over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon butter or oil. Add 3 cloves minced garlic and cook about 30 seconds, until fragrant and just beginning to brown. Stir in 3 tablespoons honey, 3 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, and 1 tablespoon sriracha. Bring to a simmer and cook 1–2 minutes, stirring, until the sauce is combined and slightly reduced.
Remove the wings from the oven and transfer them to the pan (or a large bowl) with the sauce. Toss with tongs until fully coated. Serve immediately.
