Korean Gochujang Chicken Wings Recipes

GOCHUJANG CHICKEN WINGS

Steps:

• For the wings: Season the wings with the salt and pepper and place in the air-fryer basket. Set the air fryer to 400 degrees F for 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, for the sauce: In a small bowl, combine the gochujang, mayonnaise, sesame oil, ginger, garlic, sugar, agave and a pinch of salt; set aside.
• As you near the 20-minute mark, use a meat thermometer to check the meat. When the wings reach 160 degrees F, transfer them to a large bowl. Pour about half the sauce on the wings; toss to coat (serve the remaining sauce as a dip).
• Return the wings to the air-fryer basket and cook for 5 minutes, until the sauce has glazed.
• Transfer the wings to a serving platter. Sprinkle with the sesame seeds and scallions. Serve with the reserved sauce on the side for dipping.

CHICKEN WINGS WITH GOCHUJANG, GINGER AND GARLIC

Steps:

• Cut 3 pounds of chicken wings into three sections; save the wing tips for stock. Toss the wings with a little neutral oil to keep them from sticking.
• Heat a charcoal or gas grill; the fire should be moderately hot and the rack 4 to 6 inches from the heat. Leave one side of the grill cooler for indirect cooking.
• Put the wings on the cool side of the grill. Cover the grill and cook, checking and turning once or twice, until most of the fat has been rendered, and the wings are cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes.
• While the wings cook, combine 1/4 cup soy sauce, 1/4 cup Korean red chili paste or sriracha, 2 tablespoons rice vinegar, 2 tablespoons honey, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, 2 tablespoons minced garlic and 1 tablespoon minced ginger in a large bowl.
• When the wings are cooked, add them to the bowl with the sauce, and toss to coat. Now put the wings on the hot part of the grill, and cook, uncovered, turning as necessary, until they're nicely browned on both sides.
