Chicken Wings
- Preheat oven to 425F. Line a baking sheet with foil and place a cooling rack on top. Spray the rack with non-stick spray.

Miso Sauce
- While the wings are baking, mix together the miso, soy sauce, mirin, honey, rice vinegar, ginger, and garlic in a medium bowl until combined.
- On the stove on medium heat, heat the miso sauce until slightly reduced (this means it will be less watery). Remove from heat and let sit at least 5 minutes before tossing with wings.
