Korean Honey Gochujang Wings Ingredients

Chicken Wings (pat dry)
Salt (to taste)
Onion powder or garlic powder (to taste)
2 tsp baking powder
3 tbsp gochujang
2 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp sugar
3 garlic cloves (minced)
2 tbsp rice vinegar
2 tbsp honey
1 tbsp vegetable oil
Green onions (for garnish)
Sesame seeds (for garnish)

Instructions

Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels for extra crispiness.

Season the wings with salt, onion powder (or garlic powder), and baking powder. Toss to coat evenly.

Lightly spray the air fryer basket with oil. Arrange the wings in a single layer.

Air fry at 380°F for 20 minutes, flipping halfway through.

In a bowl, combine gochujang, soy sauce, sugar, minced garlic, rice vinegar, honey, and vegetable oil. Whisk until smooth.

Pour the mixture into a pan and simmer over low heat until the sauce thickens slightly.

Once the wings are done, transfer them to the pan with the sauce. Toss until each wing is fully coated in the sticky glaze.

Transfer the wings to a serving plate. Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds.

Serve immediately and enjoy!
