Steps:

- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.
- Cook 30-45 minutes or until desired texture is achieved.

Tips:
- Use a variety of sauces. The recipe provides three different sauces to choose from: a spicy gochujang sauce, a sweet and tangy honey garlic sauce, and a savory soy garlic sauce. Experiment with different sauces to find your favorite combination.
- Don't overcrowd the pan. When frying the wings, make sure to leave enough space between them so that they can cook evenly. Overcrowding the pan will cause the wings to steam instead of fry, resulting in soggy wings.
- Fry the wings in batches. If you are making a large batch of wings, fry them in batches to prevent overcrowding the pan. This will help to ensure that all of the wings are cooked evenly.
- Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness. The wings are done cooking when they reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit. To check for doneness, insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the wing.
- Serve the wings with your favorite dipping sauce. The recipe provides three different dipping sauces to choose from: a spicy gochujang sauce, a sweet and tangy honey garlic sauce, and a savory soy garlic sauce. You can also serve the wings with your favorite ranch dressing or blue cheese dressing.
