Print Recipe

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds whole chicken wings, tips removed or left on based on preference
  • 3 tablespoons gochujang (Korean chili paste)
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (low-sodium recommended)
  • 2 tablespoons honey (or maple syrup for vegan substitute)
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon grated ginger (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds (for garnish)
  • 2 stalks green onions, thinly sliced (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. If using, place a wire rack on top.
  2. Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels and season lightly with salt and pepper on all sides.
  3. Arrange wings in a single layer on the wire rack or directly on the baking sheet, ensuring they are not touching.
  4. Bake the wings for 25 minutes. After 25 minutes, flip each wing using tongs to ensure even cooking and crispness on the other side.
  5. While wings bake, whisk together gochujang, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, minced garlic, sesame oil, and grated ginger in a mixing bowl until smooth and well combined.
  6. After flipping, bake wings for another 15 minutes until the skin is crispy and golden and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  7. Remove wings from oven and toss immediately in the gochujang glaze until evenly coated.
  8. Return the glazed wings to the rack and bake for an additional 5 minutes to set the glaze, watching closely to avoid burning.
  9. Garnish with toasted sesame seeds and sliced green onions.
  10. Serve hot and enjoy.

Notes

Pat wings dry before seasoning to ensure crispiness. Toss wings in glaze while hot for best caramelization. Flip wings halfway through baking for even cooking. Broil 2-3 minutes at the end for extra crispness if desired. Avoid overcrowding the baking sheet to prevent steaming. Maple syrup can substitute honey for a vegan option. Use tamari for gluten-free soy sauce. Add lime juice or fresh herbs for seasonal variations.
