Description
A recipe for sweet and spicy chicken wings coated in a Korean gochujang glaze.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 lbs chicken wings, separated into flats and drumettes
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup gochujang (Korean chili paste)
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds, for garnish
- 2 scallions, thinly sliced, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
- Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels. Toss the wings with vegetable oil and spread them in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake the wings for 25 minutes.
- While the wings bake, prepare the glaze. In a small saucepan, combine the gochujang, soy sauce, honey or maple syrup, rice vinegar, ginger, and garlic.
- Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring constantly. Reduce the heat to low and cook for 5 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly. Remove from heat and stir in the sesame oil.
- After 25 minutes of baking, remove the wings from the oven. Toss the hot wings thoroughly in the prepared gochujang sauce until fully coated.
- Return the sauced wings to the baking sheet. Bake for another 10 to 15 minutes, or until the glaze is sticky and caramelized.
- Remove from the oven. Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced scallions before serving.
Notes
- For crispier wings, you can broil them for the last 1-2 minutes after glazing, watching carefully to prevent burning.
- If you prefer a thinner glaze, add 1 tablespoon of water to the sauce while simmering.
