Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Korean BBQ Chicken Wings
  1. Begin by giving your chicken wings a good pat down with paper towels to ensure they are completely dry; separate the wings into drumettes and flats.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the chicken wings with soy sauce, minced garlic, and freshly grated ginger. Cover and let the wings marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
  3. In a saucepan over medium-low heat, combine gochujang, honey, rice vinegar, and brown sugar. Stir until it simmers and thickens, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Fry the chicken wings in small batches for 8-10 minutes until golden-brown and crisp.
  5. Toss the fried wings in the warm glaze for an even coating. Serve immediately to enjoy their optimal crunch and flavor.
