Ingredients
- Chicken wings
- 2 pounds
- Soy sauce
- 1/4 cup
- Gochujang (Korean chili paste)
- 2 tablespoons
- Honey
- 2 tablespoons
- Garlic
- 4 cloves, minced
- Ginger
- 1 tablespoon, grated
- Cornstarch
- 1/2 cup
- Salt
- 1 teaspoon
- Black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon
- Cooking spray
- as needed
- Green onions
- 2, chopped (for garnish)
- Toasted sesame seeds
- 2 tablespoons (for garnish)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, gochujang, honey, minced garlic, and grated ginger until well combined to create the marinade.
- Add the chicken wings to the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover and let marinate for at least 30 minutes, or refrigerate overnight for deeper flavor.
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
- In a separate bowl, mix together the cornstarch, salt, and black pepper until evenly blended.
- Remove the chicken wings from the marinade, allowing any excess marinade to drip off. Discard the remaining marinade.
- Coat each chicken wing in the cornstarch mixture, shaking off any excess cornstarch.
- Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Arrange the coated chicken wings in a single layer in the air fryer basket, ensuring not to overcrowd them for even cooking.
- Cook the wings in the air fryer for 10 minutes, then carefully flip them over and cook for an additional 10 minutes, or until they are crispy and cooked through.
- Once cooked, remove the chicken wings from the air fryer and let them rest for a few minutes.
- Garnish with chopped green onions and toasted sesame seeds before serving.
Tips
- For extra heat, feel free to add more gochujang to the marinade.
- You can substitute chicken drumsticks or thighs for the wings if preferred.
- Serve with a side of pickled radishes or a fresh salad to balance the flavors.
