Description

Crispy, juicy wings tossed in a sticky-sweet-spicy Korean-style glaze — easy, flavor-packed, and perfect for sharing.


Ingredients

Scale

1 kg chicken wings

Salt and pepper to taste

1 cup cornstarch

Oil for frying

1/4 cup soy sauce

1/4 cup honey

2 tbsp gochujang

1 tbsp minced garlic

1 tsp grated ginger

1 tbsp rice vinegar

1 tbsp sesame oil

Sesame seeds for garnish

Sliced green onions for garnish


Instructions

1. Pat chicken wings dry and season with salt and pepper.

2. Coat wings evenly in cornstarch, shaking off excess.

3. Heat oil to 350°F (175°C) and fry wings in batches for 10 minutes until golden and cooked through.

4. Drain wings on paper towels.

5. In a saucepan, combine soy sauce, honey, gochujang, garlic, ginger, rice vinegar, and sesame oil. Simmer over medium heat for 5 minutes until slightly thickened.

6. Allow sauce to cool slightly.

7. Toss fried wings in sauce until well coated.

8. Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions.

Notes

Ensure chicken is dry before coating for best crispiness.

Adjust gochujang amount to control spice level.

Let sauce cool slightly before tossing to avoid sogginess.

Serve immediately for the crispiest texture.
