Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Pat the chicken wings thoroughly dry with paper towels to ensure maximum crispiness.
Season the wings with sea salt and black pepper, then spread them in a single layer on the baking sheet.
Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the skin is golden brown and crispy.
While the wings bake, mince the garlic and grate the fresh ginger.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the honey, tamari, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger.
Simmer the sauce for 3 to 5 minutes until it reduces slightly into a thick, glossy glaze.
Thinly slice the cucumber and toss it with rice vinegar in a small bowl for a quick side salad.
Remove the wings from the oven and immediately toss them in a large bowl with the warm honey-garlic glaze.
Serve the sticky wings hot with the chilled cucumber salad on the side.
