Ingredients
- 2 pounds Chicken Wings (whole wings or drumettes, skin on)
- 2 tablespoons Soy Sauce (low‑sodium preferred)
- 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 tablespoon Ginger (fresh, grated)
- ½ cup All-Purpose Flour (sifted)
- ½ cup Potato Starch (gives extra crispness)
- ½ teaspoon Baking Powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- ½ teaspoon Black Pepper (freshly ground)
- 4 cups Vegetable Oil (high smoke‑point oil for deep‑frying)
- 3 tablespoons Gochujang (Korean red pepper paste)
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 tablespoon Rice Vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Brown Sugar (packed)
- 1 tablespoon Sesame Seeds (toasted)
- 2 stalks Green Onions (thinly sliced for garnish)
Instructions
Marinate the Chicken
In a large zip‑top bag combine the chicken wings, soy sauce, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Seal and massage the mixture, then refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.
Time: PT15M
Prepare the Coating Mix
In a mixing bowl whisk together the sifted all‑purpose flour, potato starch, baking powder, salt, and black pepper until evenly combined.
Time: PT5M
Coat the Chicken
Remove the chicken from the marinade, letting excess drip off. Toss the pieces in the coating mixture until fully covered. Let the coated chicken rest on a wire rack for 5 minutes.
Time: PT5M
First Fry (Blanch)
Heat the vegetable oil in the pot to 350°F (175°C). Working in batches, fry the coated chicken for about 4‑5 minutes, just until the coating sets but not browned. Remove and drain on the wire rack.
Time: PT8M
Temperature: 350°F
Rest the Chicken
Allow the partially cooked chicken to rest on the rack for 5 minutes. This helps the interior finish cooking during the second fry and keeps the crust dry.
Time: PT5M
Second Fry (Crisp)
Raise the oil temperature to 375°F (190°C). Fry the chicken again, in batches, for 2‑3 minutes until golden‑brown and ultra‑crisp. Transfer to the rack and let excess oil drip off.
Time: PT4M
Temperature: 375°F
Make the Gochujang Glaze
In a saucepan over medium heat, combine gochujang, honey, rice vinegar, and brown sugar. Stir continuously for 5‑6 minutes until the sauce thickens and becomes glossy.
Time: PT6M
Temperature: Medium heat
Toss Chicken in Sauce
Place the fried chicken in a large bowl, pour the hot glaze over, and toss quickly until each piece is evenly coated.
Time: PT3M
Garnish and Serve
Transfer the glazed chicken to a serving platter, sprinkle toasted sesame seeds and sliced green onions on top, and serve immediately.
Time: PT2M
