Ingredients
Wings
- 3 pounds chicken wings, cut into drummettes and flats
- 3 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Kosher salt or sea salt (you can use 2 teaspoons of salt if preferred)
Wing Sauce
- 1/4 cup Gochujan Korean red chili paste
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
- 3 tablespoons honey or brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- 3 teaspoons minced ginger
- 2 teaspoons roasted sesame oil
- Sesame seeds as garnish optional
Instructions
- Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil and set a wire rack inside. Lightly spray the rack with cooking spray.
- Pat the wings dry with paper towels. Place the wings in a large mixing bowl or a resealable plastic bag and add the baking powder and salt. Toss until evenly coated.
- Place the wings on the wire rack, leaving a small space between them for air circulation. Refrigerate uncovered for 30 minutes to overnight (You can skip this step but the wings won’t be as crispy).
- Adjust the oven rack to the upper middle position and preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Bake for 25 minutes. Flip the wings and continue to cook until crispy and golden brown, about 25 minutes, flipping once again towards the end of the cooking time.
- Meanwhile, combine the sauce ingredients in a mixing bowl large enough to hold the wings. Remove a small amount of sauce to a small bowl for dipping.
- Remove the wings from the oven and add them to the larger mixing bowl with the sauce. Toss to coat.
- Move the oven rack approximately 8-inches from broiler and broil for about 2 minutes or until desired crispiness. Remove from the oven and garnish with sesame seeds. Serve with the additional sauce for dipping.

Notes
- Some brands of Gochugan are very thick. You can add a few tablespoons of water to the sauce if needed.
- Pat dry the wings very well before tossing them with the baking powder.
- Don’t skip coating the chicken with baking powder. This is key to perfect crispiness.
