Ingredients

  • 2 lbs Chicken Wings
  • 1 Cup All-Purpose Flour
  • 1/2 Cup Cornstarch
  • Salt and Pepper (to taste)
  • 1/2 Cup Korean Gochujang (red chili paste)
  • 1/4 Cup Honey
  • 1/4 Cup Soy Sauce
  • Oil for Frying

Instructions

  • 1. Prep the Chicken: First, wash the chicken wings under cold water. Pat them dry with paper towels. This helps the coating stick better!
  • 2. Season It Up: In a big bowl, sprinkle salt and pepper over the wings. Mix it around to make sure they’re evenly coated.
  • 3. Make the Coating: In another bowl, mix together flour and cornstarch. This combo will give your chicken that perfect crunch!
  • 4. Coat the Wings: Take each wing and dip it into the flour mixture. Make sure it's fully coated. Shake off the extra flour.
  • 5. Heat the Oil: In a large pot, pour enough oil for deep frying (about 3 inches deep). Heat it over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
  • 6. Fry the Wings: Carefully drop the wings into the hot oil in batches. Fry them for about 10-12 minutes until they turn golden brown and crispy.
  • 7. Drain the Chicken: Use a slotted spoon to take the wings out of the oil. Place them on a plate lined with paper towels to soak up excess oil.
  • 8. Make the Sauce: In a small pot, mix Gochujang, honey, and soy sauce. Heat it gently until everything is combined and bubbly.
  • 9. Toss It Together: In a large bowl, add the fried wings. Drizzle the sauce over them and toss gently to coat.
  • 10. Serve and Enjoy: Plate the wings and serve hot! Pair with your favorite dipping sauce for an extra kick.

Notes

Tips:

  • You can adjust the sauce's spiciness by adding more or less Gochujang.
  • Serve these wings with pickled veggies for a tasty contrast!
