Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds chicken wings, separated into drumettes and flats
- 1/2 cup gochujang (Korean chili paste)
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Sesame seeds, for garnish
- Chopped green onions, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together gochujang, honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, and black pepper. This is your sticky glaze.
- Add the chicken wings to the bowl with the glaze. Toss well to ensure each wing is evenly coated.
- Arrange the coated chicken wings in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping the wings halfway through, until they are cooked through and the glaze is bubbly and caramelized.
- Remove from the oven. Brush with any remaining glaze from the bowl.
- Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions before serving.
Notes
- For an extra crispy wing, you can bake them for an additional 5-10 minutes after coating them with the glaze.
- Adjust the amount of gochujang to control the spice level.
- These wings are best served immediately.
