– 1 tablespoon baking powder
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
– 1 tablespoon cornstarch
– 1/2 cup gochujang (Korean chili paste)
– 1/4 cup honey
– 1/4 cup soy sauce

Instructions
Creating these mouthwatering Korean wings can be simple if you follow these easy steps:
1. Prep the Chicken Wings: Begin by patting the chicken wings dry with paper towels. This will help them crisp up during cooking.
2. Season the Wings: In a large bowl, toss the wings with baking powder, salt, black pepper, and cornstarch until evenly coated.
3. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). This high heat is crucial for achieving crispy wings.
4. Arrange Wings on a Baking Tray: Place the seasoned wings on a parchment-lined baking tray. Ensure they are spread out in a single layer for even cooking.
5. Bake the Wings: Bake for 30-35 minutes, turning them halfway through to ensure they cook evenly. They should become crispy and golden brown.
6. Prepare the Sauce: While the wings are baking, combine gochujang, honey, soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, garlic, and ginger in a mixing bowl. Whisk until smooth.
7. Coat the Wings: Once the wings are done, remove them from the oven and toss them in the sauce. Make sure each wing is coated well.
8. Return to Oven: After tossing, place the wings back in the oven for an additional 5-10 minutes. This helps the sauce caramelize and adhere to the wings.
9. Garnish: Once baked, remove the wings from the oven and sprinkle sesame seeds and sliced green onions on top for added flavor and presentation.
By following these steps, you’ll create Korean wings that are crispy, flavorful, and downright addictive.
