Korean Chicken Wings With Spicy Gochujang Sauce Recipes

KOREAN CHICKEN WINGS WITH SPICY GOCHUJANG SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 F
• Toss chicken wings with salt in a medium bowl, coating all sides well and set aside.
• Make the batter, whisking all ingredients together until smooth in a medium bowl.
• Set a wire rack over a foil-lined sheet pan near the stove.
• Make the sauce ( to save time, you can do this at the same time as frying the wings). Sauté the garlic and ginger in the oil over medium heat until fragrant and golden. Add the mirin, simmer for 2 minutes, stir in the remaining ingredients- soy sauce, orange juice, Gochujang, red chili paste brown sugar, vinegar, sesame oil and orange zest - and bring to a simmer again. Taste for heat, adding more if you like. Turn heat off.
• Heat one inch of oil, in an extra-large skillet or dutch oven, over medium-high heat until oil is hot, 350F - or until heat sizzles loudly when you test it by dropping a drop of batter in.
• Working in batches, coat the chicken in the batter, using tongs, and place gently in hot oil, careful not to splatter. Be careful not to overcrowd. Fry 7-9 minutes or until golden, being patient, then gently turn over and fry 3 more minutes. They should be golden and crispy.
• Place on the wire rack (set over over a sheet pan) and keep them in the oven while you fry all the remaining chicken. Once all the chicken wings are fried, keep them in the oven for 15 more minutes or until the last batch is cooked through. Double-check by cutting into one- juices should run clear, there should be no red or pink.
• Reheat the sauce, then toss the crispy chicken wings in the sauce and garnish with sesame seeds and scallions.
• Serve immediately so they stay crispy.

SPICY KOREAN FRIED CHICKEN WITH GOCHUJANG SAUCE

Steps:

• Whisk milk and egg together in a large bowl until thoroughly combined and smooth. Add chicken tenders to egg wash and let marinate in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.
• Combine flour, potato starch, salt, and pepper in a large mixing bowl. Pour mixture into a large, resealable plastic bag. Drain and discard marinade from chicken tenders. Add chicken to the bag, seal it, and shake until each piece is completely dredged in mixture.
• Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
• Add chicken pieces to the hot oil about 5 pieces at a time so as not to drop the temperature of the oil. Fry for 2 minutes. Transfer chicken to a plate lined with paper towels to drain. Continue with remaining chicken pieces.
• Increase oil heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) until continuously boiling. Carefully add the first batch of cooked chicken and fry again until cooked through and crispy about 2 minutes more. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain. Repeat with the second batch of chicken pieces. Transfer chicken to a medium-sized serving bowl.
• Heat a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Add honey, brown sugar, soy sauce, gochujang paste, Worcestershire sauce, red pepper flakes, and ginger. Cook and stir continuously until sugar has melted and sauce is smooth, about 5 minutes. Drizzle sauce over twice-fried chicken tenders and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
• Wash wings in cold water and pat thoroughly dry with paper towels. Transfer wings to prepared baking sheet.
• Bake for 50 minutes. Remove from oven.
• In the meantime, add the vegetable oil, garlic, and ginger to a skillet. Over medium heat, cook the ginger and garlic for 2-3 minutes.
• Add the remaining ingredients to the skillet with the exception of the sesame seeds. Whisk to combine and cook over medium heat until the sauce thickens - about 8-10 minutes.
• Once the wings are done, remove from oven and add to the skillet with the sauce. Add the sesame seeds as well.
• Over high heat, toss the wings with the sauce until the sauce coats the wings. Continue to toss over high heat until the sauce thickens even more the wings begin to char just a bit.
• Plate and serve immediately.

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.
