Crispy Gochujang Air Fryer Wings
Crispy chicken wings cooked in an air fryer and tossed in a sweet, spicy, and savory Korean gochujang sauce. This dish is perfect as an appetizer or a main course, offering a delightful blend of textures and bold flavors.
Ingredients
- 1.5 lb chicken wings drumettes and flats separated
- 2 tbsp gochujang
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp fresh ginger grated
- 1 clove garlic minced
Instructions
- Pat chicken wings thoroughly dry with paper towels.
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
- Arrange the wings in a single layer in the air fryer basket, ensuring not to overcrowd.
- Air fry at 400°F (200°C) for 12 minutes, flipping the wings halfway through with tongs to ensure even cooking and crispiness.
- While the wings cook, whisk together the gochujang, honey, soy sauce, grated fresh ginger, and minced garlic in a small bowl to create the sauce.
- Once the wings are cooked and crispy, transfer them to a large mixing bowl.
- Pour the prepared gochujang sauce over the hot wings and toss gently until all the wings are evenly coated.
- Serve immediately, garnished with sesame seeds or chopped green onions if desired.
Notes
For extra crispiness, pat the wings very dry before air frying. Adjust gochujang to your preferred spice level. Serve with a sprinkle of sesame seeds and sliced green onions for garnish. These wings are best enjoyed immediately.
