Ingredients

1 kg chicken wings chopped into flats and drums
5 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon of garlic powder
¼ teaspoon of paprika

Korean Wings Sauce

4 tablespoon of gochujang paste
3-4 tablespoon of soy sauce
⅓ cup of water
2 teaspoon of ginger
3 tablespoon of honey
1 tablespoon rice wine
2 tablespoon of butter
2 teaspoon of cornflour optional
Sesame seeds
Green onions chopped

Instructions

Chop wings and pat dry using a paper towel.
Add baking powder, cornflour, salt, garlic powder and paprika to a bowl and stir until combined. Next, combine the dry ingredients with the chicken wings, add them to an air fryer and spray with cooking oil.
Air fry the wings for 30-35 minutes at 200C/400F, flipping them halfway through. Alternatively, heat oil in a saucepan, pan or deep fryer and cook for 7-9 minutes or until done and golden brown.
As the wings cook, add gochujang, soy sauce, water, ginger, honey and rice wine into a small saucepan and mix on a low heat. Then add butter and mix until smooth. If you want to thicken the sauce combine cornflour and 2 tablespoon of water in a bowl then add it to the sauce and cook until combined.
Finally, toss the cooked wings in the sauce, sprinkle sesame seeds on top and garnish with green onions.

Notes

Chicken Preparation: Before cooking, pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels. This step removes excess moisture and ensures crispy skin. This recipe also works well with chicken drumsticks, fillets, and thighs. Adjust the cooking time accordingly.

Gochujang Sauce: The gochujang sauce is the star of the dish. Taste it and adjust it to your liking. For example, you can add more or less paprika based on your preference.
