Ingredients

3 lbs chicken wings (split at joint, tips discarded)
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp kosher salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
2 tbsp gochujang (Korean chili paste)
2 tbsp soy sauce
2 tbsp honey
2 tsp toasted sesame oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 tsp rice vinegar
2 scallions, thinly sliced
2 tsp sesame seeds, toasted

Instructions

1

Pat 3 lbs chicken wings (split at joint, tips discarded) completely dry with paper towels. Toss with 2 tsp baking powder, 1 tsp kosher salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper until evenly coated.
2

Arrange wings in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Air fry at 380°F for 20 minutes, flipping halfway through.
3

Increase temperature to 400°F and air fry for 5 more minutes until skin is crispy and wings reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
4

While wings cook, combine 2 tbsp gochujang (Korean chili paste), 2 tbsp soy sauce, 2 tbsp honey, 2 tsp toasted sesame oil, 4 cloves minced garlic, and 2 tsp rice vinegar in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring, for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.
5

Transfer hot wings to a large bowl, pour glaze over them, and toss to coat evenly.
6

Arrange on a serving platter and garnish with 2 thinly sliced scallions and 2 tsp toasted sesame seeds.

Questions

Can I make Gochujang Soy Glazed Chicken Wings gluten-free?

Yes. The gluten in this entry is 2 tbsp soy sauce. Swap the soy-based sauce for tamari or coconut aminos. Everything else proceeds as written.

How long does Gochujang Soy Glazed Chicken Wings keep?

Refrigerate leftovers within two hours and eat them within three days. Re-crisp leftovers in the air fryer at 350 F for three to four minutes; the microwave softens the coating.

Can I halve or double Gochujang Soy Glazed Chicken Wings?

Yes. As written it serves 4. Every ingredient in this entry carries precomputed half and double quantities, and the app's batch dial rewrites them inside each step. Doubled, air-fry in batches; a crowded basket steams instead of crisping.
