Description

This gochujang chicken wings recipe yields extra-crispy wings without deep frying. They're oven baked and tossed in a sweet and spicy gochujang sauce.

Ingredients

2 tablespoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
2 pounds chicken wings, separated at the joint
3 tablespoons gochujang (Korean hot and sweet pepper paste), or to taste
2 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
1 1/2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 teaspoon ground ginger
2 tablespoons sliced green onions
2 teaspoons sesame seeds

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a large baking sheet with foil. Coat a wire rack with cooking spray; place on the prepared baking sheet.
2 Whisk baking powder, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder together in a small bowl; transfer to a large resealable plastic bag.
3 Pat wings dry with a paper towel; add wings, in batches, to the plastic bag. Shake and toss until coated; shake off excess coating and set aside. Place wings on the prepared rack, being sure not to overcrowd. Repeat with remaining wings and coating mixture.
4 Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes; flip wings. Bake until browned and crispy, about 15 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into centers should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
5 Meanwhile, whisk gochujang, soy sauce, honey, vinegar, sesame oil, and ginger together in a large bowl. Immediately add chicken wings when done cooking; toss until coated.
6 Transfer wings to a serving platter; garnish with green onions and sesame seeds.
