Best Korean Gochujang Chicken Wings Recipes

GOCHUJANG CHICKEN WINGS

Steps:

• For the wings: Season the wings with the salt and pepper and place in the air-fryer basket. Set the air fryer to 400 degrees F for 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, for the sauce: In a small bowl, combine the gochujang, mayonnaise, sesame oil, ginger, garlic, sugar, agave and a pinch of salt; set aside.
• As you near the 20-minute mark, use a meat thermometer to check the meat. When the wings reach 160 degrees F, transfer them to a large bowl. Pour about half the sauce on the wings; toss to coat (serve the remaining sauce as a dip).
• Return the wings to the air-fryer basket and cook for 5 minutes, until the sauce has glazed.
• Transfer the wings to a serving platter. Sprinkle with the sesame seeds and scallions. Serve with the reserved sauce on the side for dipping.

AIR-FRIED KOREAN CHICKEN WINGS

Steps:

• Combine hot honey, gochujang, brown sugar, soy sauce, lemon juice, garlic, ginger, salt, and black pepper in a saucepan. Bring sauce to a boil over medium heat, reduce heat, and simmer for 5 minutes. Add green onions and stir.
• Preheat air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Place wings in a large bowl and toss with salt, garlic powder, onion powder and black pepper. Add cornstarch and toss wings until fully coated. Shake each wing and place in the air fryer basket, making sure they are not touching; cook in batches if necessary.
• Fry in the preheated air fryer for 10 minutes, shake basket, and fry an additional 10 minutes. Flip wings over and fry until chicken is cooked through and juices run clear, 7 to 8 more minutes.
• Dip each wing in the sauce and garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds. Serve with remaining sauce on the side.

CHICKEN WINGS WITH GOCHUJANG, GINGER AND GARLIC

Steps:

• Cut 3 pounds of chicken wings into three sections; save the wing tips for stock. Toss the wings with a little neutral oil to keep them from sticking.
• Heat a charcoal or gas grill; the fire should be moderately hot and the rack 4 to 6 inches from the heat. Leave one side of the grill cooler for indirect cooking.
• Put the wings on the cool side of the grill. Cover the grill and cook, checking and turning once or twice, until most of the fat has been rendered, and the wings are cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes.
• While the wings cook, combine 1/4 cup soy sauce, 1/4 cup Korean red chili paste or sriracha, 2 tablespoons rice vinegar, 2 tablespoons honey, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, 2 tablespoons minced garlic and 1 tablespoon minced ginger in a large bowl.
• When the wings are cooked, add them to the bowl with the sauce, and toss to coat. Now put the wings on the hot part of the grill, and cook, uncovered, turning as necessary, until they're nicely browned on both sides.

3-INGREDIENT GOCHUJANG GRILLED CHICKEN WINGS WITH SCALLION

Steps:

• Pat wings very dry with paper towels. Toss wings, oil, 1 tsp. salt, and 1/2 tsp. pepper in a large bowl to coat.
• Prepare a grill for two zones, medium and medium-high, or heat a grill pan over medium. Working in batches if necessary, grill wings over medium heat, turning occasionally, until skin is starting to brown and fat is rendering, about 12 minutes. Move wings to medium-high zone of grill or increase heat under grill pan to medium-high. Cook wings, moving to a cooler section of grill or reducing heat if they start to burn, until cooked through, an instant-read thermometer inserted into the flesh but not touching the bone registers 165°F, and skin is crisp and lightly charred, 5-10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, whisk gochujang and 1/4 cup hot water in a large bowl.
• Transfer wings to bowl with gochujang and toss to coat. Transfer to a platter. Top with scallions, season with salt and pepper, and serve immediately.
