• 1 kg chicken wings
• 1 cup all-purpose flour

• 2 tablespoons gochujang (Korean red chili paste)
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon minced garlic
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
• to taste salt and pepper

Method

1. 1

   In a mixing bowl, combine the gochujang, soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix well to create the marinade.

2. 2

   Add the chicken wings to the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours for better flavor.

3. 3

   In another bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour and cornstarch. This will be used for coating the chicken.

4. 4

   Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium-high heat. The oil should be hot enough for frying.

5. 5

   Take the marinated chicken wings out of the refrigerator, shake off excess marinade, and dredge in the flour-cornstarch mixture until evenly coated.

6. 6

   Fry the wings in batches for about 8-10 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy. Ensure they are cooked through.

7. 7

   Once cooked, remove the wings from the oil and drain on paper towels.

8. 8

   Serve hot, garnished with sesame seeds. Optionally, drizzle with additional gochujang sauce for extra flavor.
