Number Of Ingredients 13

2 pounds chicken wings
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon black pepper or gochugaru (Korean red pepper)
2 tablespoons gochujang (Korean chile paste)
1 tablespoon mayonnaise
1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon agave nectar or honey
Kosher salt
1 teaspoon sesame seeds
1/4 cup chopped scallions

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.

CHICKEN WINGS WITH GOCHUJANG, GINGER AND GARLIC



Chicken Wings With Gochujang, Ginger and Garlic image

Wings have a higher ratio of skin to meat than almost any other cut of chicken, which is what makes them so appealing. In order to crisp the skin, you need to render out most of the fat that comes with it, otherwise you'll get chewy wings instead of crunchy ones.

Categories     easy, appetizer

Time 45m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 pounds of chicken wings
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup gochujang (Korean red chile paste) or sriracha
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon sesame oil
2 tablespoons minced garlic
1 tablespoon minced ginger

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.

Tips:

  • Use a good quality gochujang paste. The better the paste, the better your chicken wings will taste. Look for a gochujang paste that is made with real Korean chili peppers and has a deep, rich flavor.
  • Don't be afraid to adjust the amount of gochujang paste to your taste. If you like your chicken wings spicy, add more paste. If you prefer a milder flavor, use less.
  • Be sure to marinate the chicken wings for at least 30 minutes. This will help the flavors to penetrate the chicken and make them more delicious.
  • When baking the chicken wings, be sure to flip them halfway through the cooking time. This will help them to cook evenly.
  • Serve the chicken wings with your favorite dipping sauce. Some popular options include ranch dressing, blue cheese dressing, and honey mustard.

Conclusion:

These Korean gochujang chicken wings are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. They are perfect for game day, parties, or any other occasion. With their sweet, spicy, and savory flavor, these chicken wings are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
