    Baked Sticky Korean Wings are an easy game day snack! These wings are so simple to make with an easy easy dry rub of pantry staple spices. Baking them in the oven makes them lighter than fried, but they're still super crispy. Toss them in the Korean-inspired sauce made with Gochujang.

    Ingredients You'll Need:

    • Chicken Wings - separated into the flats and drums. You can buy them like this (my preferred choice) or do it yourself. Here's a tutorial.
    • Baking Powder - This is the secret ingredient to get crispy wings without frying!
    • Spices - Salt, Pepper, Garlic Powder, and Onion Powder
    • Gochujang Paste - You can adjust this amount to make them more or less spicy.
    • Soy Sauce - I like to use low sodium soy sauce.
    • Rice Wine Vinegar
    • Honey - To slightly sweeten the sauce
    • Sesame Oil
    • Fresh Ginger and Garlic - You can swap in ground ginger and garlic powder.
    • Sesame Seeds - For garnish
    • Green Onions - For garnish

    How to Make Baked Chicken Wings

    1. Prep Wings - Thoroughly pat dry the wings and toss with the baking powder and spices.
    2. Bake Wings - Line a baking sheet with foil (for easy cleanup) and add a baking rack. Place the wings on the rack with space in between. Bake in the preheated oven until cooked through and crispy.
    3. Make Korean Sauce - While the wings are cooking make the Korean-inspired sauce. Add the sauce ingredients to a small saucepan and heat over medium. Bring the sauce to a simmer and allow to simmer for 10-15 minutes until the sauce has reduced and slightly thickened. It should coat the back of a spoon.
    4. Toss Wings in Sauce - When the wings are done baking, add to a bowl and toss with the sauce. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and sliced green onions.

    What is Gochujang?

    Gochujang paste is a staple ingredient in Korean cooking. It is a thick, spicy yet slightly sweet, red paste made from red Chile pepper flakes, sticky rice, fermented soybeans, and salt. The paste has a good level of heat so a small amount can go a long way.

    You can buy Gochujang paste in the condiment aisle of a Korean market, in the ethnic aisle of a major grocery store, or even online. It is usually in a small, red square tub.

    Storage and Reheating

    Storage - Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for 4 days.

    Reheating - You can reheat them in the oven or in the air fryer to restore their crispiness.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Are these wings spicy?

    It all depends on the amount of Gochujang sauce the you use. As written, these wings are a moderate spice level but use less or more Gochujang to adjust them to your spice preference.

    Can this recipe be doubled to make more chicken wings?

    Yes! I often make 2-3 pounds of wings to feed a crowd. But you may need to bake them in batches. Make sure the wings have an inch or so of space in between each one when baking for optimal crispness.
