Ingredients:

• 2 lbs chicken wings
• 1/2 cup gochujang (Korean red chili paste)

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. In a bowl, mix together gochujang, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, garlic, and ginger to make the marinade.

3. Add the chicken wings to the marinade, ensuring each wing is coated evenly. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.

4. Place the wings on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 45-50 minutes, turning halfway through, until the wings are cooked through and caramelized.

5. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and green onions before serving. Enjoy hot!

Expert Tips:

– For extra crispy wings, you can broil them for an additional 2-3 minutes at the end of the cooking time.

– Feel free to adjust the level of spiciness by adding more or less gochujang to suit your preference.

– Serve these wings with a side of pickled radishes and steamed white rice for a complete Korean dining experience.

Storage & Substitutions:

If you have any leftovers (which is unlikely!), you can store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Simply reheat them in the oven to enjoy them crispy again.
