Ingredients

  • 4 lbs Chicken wings pierce chicken wings with a fork if they’re big and thick to avoid getting salmonella
  • ¼ cup cornstarch
  • Salt & pepper
  • 2 Tbsp. Gochujang Korean chili paste
  • 1 Tbsp. Gochugaru Korean chili pepper flakes
  • 1 Tbsp. soy sauce
  • 1 Tbsp. oyster sauce
  • 2 Tbsp. mirin
  • 2 Tbsp. sugar
  • 2 tsp. minced garlic
  • 1 tsp. minced ginger
  • 3 Tbsp. neutral-tasting oil
  • ¼ cup water
  • Green onion thinly sliced, to garnish
  • Sesame seeds to garnish

Instructions

  • Prepare the aromatics. Thinly slice the green onion, and separate the white and green parts. Finely mince or grate the ginger and garlic.
  • In a small bowl, add gochujang, gochugaru, sugar, soy sauce, oyster sauce, mirin, water, and some freshly ground pepper. Mix to combine and set aside.
  • Use a knife to make small slits in the chicken wings. Pat them dry with paper towels. Season with salt and pepper. Evenly coat them in the cornstarch.
  • Make gochujang chicken wings. In a large pan or skillet, heat 3 tablespoons of oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the chicken wings and cook for 4-5 minutes per side or until golden brown. Once they’re cooked through, remove them from the pan, but leave the oil, and set them aside.
  • In the same pan, add garlic, ginger, and the white part of the green onion. Sauté for about 1 minute. Pour in the sauce and bring it to a boil over high heat.
  • When the sauce boils, add the chicken wings and toss them together until the wings are evenly coated and the sauce has thickened. Transfer them to a serving plate and garnish with sesame seeds and green onions. Dig in!
