Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a wire rack for crispiness.
Rinse the chicken wings and pat them completely dry with paper towels to ensure crispy skin.
In a small saucepan, combine soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, and minced garlic. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the glaze thickens slightly and becomes glossy.
While the glaze simmers, heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet or large pot over medium-high heat until it reaches about 350°F (175°C).
Add the chicken wings carefully into the hot oil, working in batches if necessary, and fry until golden brown and crispy, about 8-10 minutes. Use tongs to turn them for even frying.
Transfer the fried wings to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Using tongs or a brush, coat the hot wings generously with the soy glaze, ensuring they are evenly covered with the shiny, flavorful coating.
Arrange the glazed wings on the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for about 8-10 minutes to set the glaze and crisp the exterior further.
Remove from the oven and let the wings rest for a few minutes. The glaze will set and give the wings a glossy, spooky appearance.
Serve the wings hot, with their shiny, crispy surface resembling tiny spooky bats for a festive Halloween treat.
