  • Total Time: 50 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Chicken Wings

  • 1 kg chicken wings
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Sauce

  • 2 tbsp gochujang
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tsp garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp ginger, grated
  • 1 tsp sesame oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) to ensure it reaches the perfect temperature for crispy wings.
  2. Prepare Wings: Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture, then toss them in vegetable oil, salt, and pepper to season and promote browning.
  3. Arrange for Baking: Place the wings in a single layer on a baking tray to allow even cooking and crisping on all sides.
  4. Bake Wings: Bake the wings in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes. Turn them halfway through cooking to ensure they become crispy and golden on every side.
  5. Make Sauce: While the wings bake, combine gochujang, soy sauce, honey, brown sugar, minced garlic, grated ginger, and sesame oil in a saucepan. Heat gently until the sauce thickens slightly and flavors meld.
  6. Coat Wings: Once the wings are cooked and crispy, toss them thoroughly in the warm gochujang sauce to coat evenly and infuse them with bold, spicy-sweet flavor.
  7. Serve: Serve the wings immediately for the best texture and taste, garnished with sesame seeds or chopped green onions if desired.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, you can use an air fryer instead of baking.
  • Adjust the spice level by reducing the amount of gochujang according to your taste.
