Description

Korean Gochujang Wings are where crispy wings meet a spicy-sweet glaze packed with umami depth. Coated in a fiery gochujang sauce balanced with honey, soy, and sesame, these wings hit every flavor note—sweet, salty, tangy, and just the right amount of heat. Finished with toasted sesame seeds and a pop of fresh green onion, they’re addictive, crowd-pleasing, and absolutely unforgettable.


Ingredients

Scale

2 lbs chicken wings

1 tbsp baking powder (for crispy skin)

Salt & pepper to taste

For the sauce:

3 tbsp gochujang (Korean chili paste)

2 tbsp honey

1 tbsp soy sauce

1 tbsp rice vinegar

2 tsp sesame oil

2 cloves garlic, minced

For garnish:

1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds

2 green onions, thinly sliced


Instructions

Crisp the wings: Toss wings with baking powder, salt, and pepper. Arrange on a wire rack over a baking sheet. Bake at 425°F for 40–45 minutes, flipping halfway.

Make the sauce: Whisk together gochujang, honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and garlic in a saucepan over low heat. Simmer for 2–3 minutes until slightly thickened.

Coat the wings: Transfer baked wings to a large bowl, pour sauce over, and toss until evenly coated.

Garnish & serve: Sprinkle with sesame seeds and green onions. Serve immediately.
