Why This Recipe Works

Spicy Korean Chicken Wings are a busy parent’s dream come true for several reasons:

• Easy to make with simple ingredients
• Kid-approved flavor that the whole family will enjoy

Ingredients

For the chicken wings:

• 2 lbs chicken wings
• 1/2 cup soy sauce
• 1/4 cup gochujang (Korean chili paste)
• 2 tbsp honey
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tsp ginger, grated
• Sesame seeds and sliced green onions for garnish

Ingredient Notes: Gochujang can be found in the international aisle of most grocery stores. If you can’t find it, you can substitute sriracha for a similar spicy kick.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: In a bowl, mix together soy sauce, gochujang, honey, garlic, and ginger. Add chicken wings and marinate for at least 30 minutes.

Step 2: Preheat the oven to 400°F. Place marinated chicken wings on a baking sheet lined with foil.

Step 3: Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through and crispy on the outside.

Step 4: Sprinkle with sesame seeds and sliced green onions before serving.

Expert Tips from My Kitchen

• For extra crispy wings, broil them for an additional 2-3 minutes after baking.
• Make a double batch of the marinade and save half for a quick stir-fry later in the week.
• Serve these wings with a side of steamed rice and kimchi for a complete meal.

Storage & Meal Prep

Store any leftover wings in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F until heated through.

Substitutions & Variations

To make these wings gluten-free, use tamari instead of soy sauce. You can also swap the chicken wings for chicken drumsticks for a fun twist on this recipe.
