Spicy Korean BBQ Chicken Wings

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ pounds bone-in chicken wings – I used wings and drumsticks
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • ¼ cup flour 
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon cracked black pepper

Korean BBQ Sauce

  • 6 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce – or THICK soy sauce if your grocery store carries it
  • 3 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon sriracha – or 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
  • 2 teaspoons minced garlic
  • 1 tablespoon cold water + 1 teaspoon corn starch
  • chopped green onions and sesame seeds – optional garnish

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with foil and place a cooling rack on top of the foil. 
  • Stir together flour, salt, and black pepper. Pat wings dry with paper towels. Brush with oil, then toss in the flour mixture and arrange in a single layer (not touching) on the cooling rack. 
  • Bake for 15 minutes, then broil for 2-3 minutes until crispy. WATCH CLOSELY so they don’t burn. 
  • While chicken wings are baking, prepare the sauce by combing soy sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, sriracha, sesame oil, and garlic in a medium sauce pan. Bring to a boil, stir together cold water and corn starch until dissolved, then whisk corn starch slurry into the boiling sauce. Once thickened, remove from heat. 
  • Toss wings in the sauce and garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds if desired before serving.
