Notes
- If you desire extra crispiness in the chicken wings, you can double-fry them by frying them for 5 minutes, letting them cool for a few minutes, and then frying them again for an additional 5-7 minutes until they turn golden brown and crispy.
- You can adjust the level of spiciness in the recipe by altering the amount of cayenne pepper and gochujang used.
