Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup gochujang
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp ginger peeled and minced
  • 3 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 tbsp toasted sesame oil
  • 1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce
  • 1 bunch green onions sliced
  • 2 tbsp toasted sesame seeds
  • 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 2 lbs chicken wings bone-in

Instructions

  • n a large bowl, whisk together gochujang, honey, ginger, sesame seeds, garlic, sesame oil, soy sauce, red pepper flakes (if using), and the white parts of the green onions.
    1/4 cup gochujang, 1 tbsp honey, 1 tbsp ginger, 3 garlic cloves, 1 tbsp toasted sesame oil, 1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce, 1 bunch green onions, 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes, 2 tbsp toasted sesame seeds
  • Add chicken wings to the bowl and toss to coat thoroughly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for maximum flavor.
    2 lbs chicken wings
  • Heat your grill to medium-high (about 400°F).
  • Remove wings from marinade, letting excess drip off. Grill for 20–25 minutes, turning every 4–5 minutes to prevent burning. Wings are done when the skin is caramelized and the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  • Transfer to a serving plate and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds and green onion tops. Serve immediately while hot and juicy!

Notes

  • Marinate wings overnight for deeper flavor and tenderness.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure wings reach 165°F internally.
  • For extra crispiness, finish wings over direct heat for a few minutes.
  • Save some marinade before adding raw chicken to brush on while grilling.
  • Adjust spice level by omitting or adding red pepper flakes.
  • Perfect served with rice, grilled veggies, or kimchi for a full meal.
