Ingredients
- 2 lbs chicken wings
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons gochujang (Korean chili paste)
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
- Sesame seeds for garnish
- Chopped green onions for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, combine soy sauce, gochujang, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger. Mix well to create a marinade.
- Marinate the Wings: Place the chicken wings in a large zip-top bag or bowl and pour the marinade over them, ensuring they are well coated. Seal or cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for maximum flavor.
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top.
- Bake the Wings: Remove the wings from the marinade and arrange them on the wire rack in a single layer. Bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the wings are crispy and cooked through.
- Glaze the Wings: In the last 5 minutes of baking, brush the wings with additional marinade if desired, then return to the oven to caramelize.
- Serve: Once done, remove from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes. Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions before serving.
