Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 460°F/ 240°C. Line the baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. If necessary, divide the chicken wings into wingettes and drumettes. See the blog post above for more instructions on that.2 lbs chicken wings
  3. Marinade: In a large bowl, mix the grated garlic cloves, peeled and grated ginger, gochujang paste, honey, vinegar, soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, salt, and pepper.4 large garlic cloves + 1 thumb-size piece of ginger + 1 heaped tablespoon gochujang paste + 2 tablespoons honey + 1 tablespoon Chinese vinegar + 2 tablespoons soy sauce + 1 tablespoon oyster sauce + 1 tablespoon sesame oil + ½ teaspoon fine sea salt + ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
  4. Coat chicken: Place the prepared chicken wings into the bowl and mix well to coat. Place the chicken wings on the prepared baking sheet. Reserve the marinade in the bowl.
  5. Bake the Gochujang wings in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Flip with tongs and bake for another 10 minutes or until cooked through. Check by tearing one wing apart - the meat should be completely white with no pink remaining.
  6. Gochujang sauce: Meanwhile, transfer the remaining marinade to a small saucepan. You won’t have much, but a little goes a long way. Bring it to a boil, then simmer for 3–5 minutes until thickened and glossy.
  7. Coat chicken: When the chicken wings are cooked through, brush them with the reduced marinade. Sprinkle the wings with sesame seeds and finely sliced green onions. Serve immediately.1 teaspoon sesame seeds + 1-2 thin green onions

Notes

  • Gochujang sauce: It comes in several heat degrees, so you might want to pay attention to that when purchasing gochujang paste.
