Instructions
- Pat dry the chicken wings with a paper towel if they are moist.
- Coat the chicken with mirin, garlic powder, and onion powder and set aside in the fridge for an hour.
- Combine the potato starch and baking powder and then coat the chicken wings in the coating.
- Prepare a lined sheet pan with a cooling rack on top.
- To a Dutch oven or large skillet, add just under 2 inches of oil and heat it to 345F/174C.
- Slowly add in a couple chicken wings at a time. Fry for around 8 minutes, flipping the chicken wings at the halfway mark. Transfer to the cooling rack and repeat until you’ve fried all of the wings.
- Increase the temperature of the oil to around 375F/195C and add the cooked chicken back in, again in batches.
- Double-fry the chicken wings for around 2 minutes or until the wings are golden.
- To make the sauce, add the olive oil and garlic to a pan on medium heat. Let the garlic cook for thirty seconds to a minute before adding the ketchup, brown sugar, gochujang, rice wine vinegar, and water. Let the sauce cook for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring throughout and add more water if you’d like for the sauce to be thinner.
- Toss the fried chicken in the sauce and serve.
Notes
- ½
- This makes 2 servings if you're eating them as a main or 3 to 4 servings as an app.
- Feel free to double or triple the recipe. The sauce is just enough for 1½lbs of wings so be sure to scale up the sauce as well.
