  • 3 3 tablespoons Clear Jel or other canning starch

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 425º F.
  2. Place chicken wings into a large zip top bag.
  3. Pour 5 teaspoons of Korean Barbecue Sauce over chicken. Close bag and turn from side to side until all chicken wings are well coated. Remove chicken wings from bag with tongs and place on a rimmed baking sheet.
  4. Bake for 30 minutes or until wings are cooked through. Remove from oven and brush rmore of the barbecue sauce over wings. Serve.
For the Korean Barbecue Sauce:
    Cup of Yum
  1. Combine the soy sauce, light brown sugar, 1 cup water, soju or sake, gochujang, honey, rice wine vinegar, garlic, ginger, scallions, grated pear, black pepper, and chili powder or crushed red pepper flakes in a large stainless pot. Stir well while bringing to a boil. Boil for 5 minutes, stirring frequently.
  2. In a small measuring cup, whisk together the canning starch with 1/4 cup water until well-combined. Stir the barbecue sauce in the stockpot briskly and pour the gel and water mixture in a steady stream to combine. Return the sauce to a boil and boil for 1 minute or until thickened.
  3. Ladle the sauce into sterilized pint jars, leaving 1/2-inch headspace at the top of each jar. Clean the tops of the jars with a paper towel that has been moistened with vinegar. Place lids onto the jars and fasten to fingertip tightness.
  4. Use canning tongs to transfer the jars to a stockpot full of boiling water that covers the jars by 2 inches. Put the lid on the stockpot, return the water to a boil and boil for 15 minutes. Transfer the jars to a towel-lined counter and allow them to cool completely.
  5. Store the jars in a cool, dark place for up to 1 year. Once opened, store in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks.
