You have to make these Air Fryer Gochujang Honey Chicken Wings - sweet, spicy, tangy in every bite

Ingredients

• 2 pounds Chicken Wings (fresh or thawed, skin on)
• 1/4 cup Corn Starch (for coating the wings)
• 1 teaspoon Salt (to taste)
• 1/2 teaspoon Black Pepper (freshly ground)
• 2 tablespoons Brown Sugar (packed)
• 2 tablespoons Soy Sauce (low‑sodium optional)
• 1/4 cup Water (for sauce consistency)
• 1 tablespoon Rice Vinegar (adds brightness)
• 1 teaspoon Gochugaru (Korean red pepper flakes, adjust for heat)
• 2 tablespoons Honey (prefer raw honey)
• 1 tablespoon Gochujang (Korean chili paste, authentic flavor)
• 2 cloves Garlic (minced)

Instructions

1. Dry and Season Wings

   Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels, then sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Place the cornstarch in a shallow dish and toss the wings until evenly coated, shaking off excess.

   Time: PT5M

2. Air Fry the Wings

   Preheat the air fryer to 400°F. Arrange the coated wings in a single layer in the basket (do not overcrowd). Air fry for 20 minutes, flipping the wings halfway through for even browning.

   Temperature: 400°F

3. Prepare the Gochujang Honey Sauce

   While the wings cook, combine brown sugar, soy sauce, water, rice vinegar, gochugaru, honey, gochujang, and minced garlic in a saucepan. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat, stirring constantly, and cook until the sauce thickens and becomes glossy, about 5 minutes.

   Time: PT5M

4. Toss Wings in Sauce

5. Serve and Garnish

   Place the glazed wings on a serving plate. Optional: sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds and sliced green onions for extra flavor and color. Serve immediately while hot.
