Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken wings
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup cornstarch
- 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 4 cups vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger, minced
- 0.5 cup ketchup
- 0.25 cup Gochujang (Korean chili paste)
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 0.25 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 2 tablespoons green onions, thinly sliced
Instructions
Clean the chicken wings and pat them dry with paper towels. Season them with salt and black pepper.
In a large bowl, mix cornstarch, flour, and baking powder.
Dredge the chicken wings in the flour mixture, ensuring they are evenly coated. Shake off any excess flour.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot or deep fryer to 350°F (175°C).
Fry the chicken wings in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pot, until they are golden brown and crispy, about 8-10 minutes per batch.
Remove the chicken from the oil and let them drain on a wire rack or paper towels.
In a separate saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and ginger and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the ketchup, gochujang, soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, and sugar to the pan. Stir to combine and let the sauce simmer for 2-3 minutes until it slightly thickens.
Toss the fried chicken wings in the sauce until they are thoroughly coated.
Sprinkle with sesame seeds and garnish with sliced green onions before serving.
