Ingredients

Wings

Sauce

  • 1/3 cup gochujang (Korean red chili paste)

  • 2 tablespoons ketchup

  • 1/4 cup brown sugar

  • 1 tablespoon mirin

  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce

  • 2 tablespoons sesame seeds, plus more for garnish

  • sliced scallions, for garnish

Directions

Prepare the Wings

1.

Preheat your oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit.

2.

Season the wings with salt and pepper then coat each wing in a very light dusting of cornstarch, shaking off the excess before placing onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.

3.

Spray with oil and bake uncovered for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, prepare the sauce.

Prepare the Sauce

1.

Stir all the sauce ingredients in a pan over low heat until uniform and the sauce begins to bubble slightly. Remove from heat.

Assemble

1.

As soon as the wings come out of the oven, toss them with the warm sauce.

2.

Top with scallions and sesame seeds.

Notes:

The sauce coats the wings more easily when it’s warm. If preparing the sauce in advance, rewarm before coating the wings. (Reheats nicely!)

The sauce can definitely be used on drumsticks, but the cooking method will be different since drumsticks are bigger and need to cook longer.

Oy Esty!
I do not live in the u.s. and the gochujang sauce is not available here, so i went to check out how to make it at home.
there are too many ingredients I cannot get here , so what can I use to substitute this sauce?

Esty said you can try sriracha but the flavor will be different and it’s not a real replacement. The gochujang sauce is a key ingredient
