Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with a wire rack for maximum airflow and crispiness.
Pat the chicken wings completely dry with paper towels to ensure the skin crisps up perfectly in the oven.
Season the wings evenly with sea salt and black pepper, then arrange them in a single layer on the wire rack.
Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the wings are golden brown and the skin is crispy.
While the wings bake, whisk together the honey, tamari, minced garlic, grated ginger, and sesame oil in a small bowl.
Transfer the hot, crispy wings to a large mixing bowl and pour the honey-garlic glaze over them, tossing until every wing is sticky and well-coated.
Serve the wings immediately with the chilled cucumber slices on the side to provide a cool, refreshing contrast.
