Spicy Korean BBQ Wings
Ingredients:
- 2 pounds chicken wings
- 1/2 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons gochujang (Korean chili paste)
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon grated ginger
- 2 green onions, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions:
- In a large bowl, combine soy sauce, brown sugar, gochujang, honey, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger. Mix well.
- Add chicken wings to the marinade and toss until well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Transfer the marinated chicken wings to the prepared baking sheet, reserving the marinade for later use.
- Bake the wings for 25-30 minutes, or until cooked through and crispy, flipping them halfway through.
- While the wings are baking, pour the reserved marinade into a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes to thicken the sauce.
- Once the wings are done, remove them from the oven and brush them with the thickened sauce.
- Garnish with chopped green onions and serve hot.
How to Prepare:
Prepare the marinade by combining soy sauce, brown sugar, gochujang, honey, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger. Marinate the chicken wings in this flavorful mixture for a minimum of 2 hours, allowing the meat to absorb the deliciousness. Once marinated, bake the wings in the oven until crispy and fully cooked. Finish off by brushing the wings with the thickened sauce for an extra burst of flavor. Garnish with finely chopped green onions for a refreshing touch.
