Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds chicken wings, separated into drumettes and flats
  • 1/4 cup gochujang (Korean fermented chili paste)
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon grated ginger
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • Sesame seeds, for garnish
  • Green onions, thinly sliced, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with foil and place a wire rack on top.
  2. Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. Place them in a large mixing bowl.
  3. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of cornstarch, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper over the wings. Toss to coat evenly.
  4. Arrange the wings in a single layer on the wire rack. Bake for 35-40 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup of gochujang, 3 tablespoons of honey, 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon of sesame oil, 2 cloves of minced garlic, and 1 teaspoon of grated ginger. Adjust flavors as needed.
  6. Transfer the cooked wings to a large mixing bowl. Pour the glaze over the wings and toss until evenly coated.
  7. Return the glazed wings to the oven and broil on high for 2-3 minutes until the glaze caramelizes slightly.
  8. Transfer the wings to a platter and sprinkle sesame seeds and sliced green onions on top. Serve immediately while hot and sticky.

Notes

[‘Dry the wings thoroughly to ensure they crisp up beautifully in the oven.’, ‘Arrange the wings in a single layer with space between them for even cooking.’, ‘Adjust the spice level by adding more gochujang or chili flakes for extra heat, or reducing gochujang and adding more honey for a milder flavor.’, ‘Broil the wings for a sticky finish, but keep an eye on them to prevent burning.’, ‘You can make the glaze a day in advance and store it in the fridge.’]
