Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking tray with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

  3. In a separate bowl, combine gochujang, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger. Mix until well blended.
  4. Pour the marinade over the wings and toss them thoroughly until evenly coated. Let them marinate for at least 15 minutes.
Cooking
  1. Spread the wings across the lined baking tray in a single layer. Bake for about 30-35 minutes, flipping midway through.
  2. Make sure they are golden brown and crispy.
  3. Once cooked, remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions before serving.

Notes

For best results, don't skip the drying process for the wings. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days in the refrigerator, or freeze for up to a month.
