Honey Gochujang Chicken Wings
The perfectly sweet and spicy chicken wing. A great appetizer or part of a dinner to serve with rice and vegetables. Gochujang is a fermented Korean chili paste that packs a ton of flavor and is great in marinades, sauces, and dressings.
Equipment
- 1 Air Fryer
Ingredients
FOR THE WINGS
- 12 wings / drummies
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp garlic powder
FOR THE SAUCE
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup gochujang
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 large clove of garlic minced - see above for using garlic powder instead of fresh.
- 1/2 tbsp ginger minced / grated - see above for using ginger powder instead of fresh.
- 2 tbsp rice vinegar
- 2 tbsp water
- sesame seeds + green onions for toppings
Instructions
- Heat air fryer at 400 for a few minutes to heat up.
- Lay your wings on paper towns and pat *really dry*. The dryer the wing, the crispier she’ll get. Add your wings to a bowl and add in olive oil, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder, mix well so they’re completely coated.
- Add to air fryer (make sure they’re not touching each other or overlapping). Air fry at 400 for 10 minutes, flip and air fry again at 400 for 10 minutes.
- Every air fryer is going to be different, so continue to do this in 5 minute increments until wings are browned and crispy.
- While wings are frying, make your sauce - combine olive oil, honey, gochujang paste, soy sauce, rice vinegar, garlic, ginger, and water to a large bowl and whisk together.
- When wings are done, put onto a cooling rack to dry a bit and crisp up. Toss in your honey + gochujang sauce. Place onto a plate and sprinkle with sesame seeds and chopped green onions. Enjoy!
