Ingredients

4 servings

For the chicken

2 lbs bone-in, skin-on chicken wings or drumettes, patted dry
1 tsp kosher salt
½ tsp black pepper
½ tsp garlic powder
½ tsp ginger powder
3 tbsp cornstarch
1 tbsp neutral oil (such as avocado or canola oil)

For the glaze

3 tbsp gochujang (korean chili paste)
2 tbsp soy sauce
2 tbsp honey
1 tbsp rice vinegar
1 tbsp toasted sesame oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp fresh ginger, grated

For serving

1 tsp toasted sesame seeds (optional)
2 scallions, thinly sliced (optional)

Instructions

1
Pat the chicken wings completely dry with paper towels, then place them in a large mixing bowl. Toss with the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and ginger powder until evenly coated.
2
Sprinkle the cornstarch over the seasoned chicken and toss again until each piece is lightly but thoroughly coated — the surface should look chalky and dry with no wet spots. Drizzle the neutral oil over the chicken and toss once more to coat.
