It’s Fall and it’s also game day season and I bet you all would love to have some sticky, spicy Korean chicken wings coated with the addictive Korean red pepper paste, or gochujang.
I am a huge fan of gochujang as I love fiery foods; the chili paste always makes everything so much better. Plus, who doesn’t love Korean food?

How much spice to use
Rasa Malaysia
Probably too spicy. You need to cut down the spice if you want kids to eat.

Really good take on Korean wings. I hadn’t tried baking them before and discovered an additional tip by complete accident. I too had been concerned about cooking at 450 for 45 minutes, but when I pulled them out they weren’t as crisp as I wanted. I ended up tossing in the sauce but leaving some extra behind. Put the wings back under the broiler for an additional minute on each side, pulled them out and tossed again with the remaining sauce. Turned out fantastic and perfectly crisp.

I made these twice for my son who loves spicy wings. They were a huge hit. Certainly spicy for a lot of people, so go easy on the sauce if unsure. In the same large batch, I made a few less spicy ones.

Awesome thanks for trying my spicy Korean chicken wings.

These wings are absolutely incredible. A nice switch from Buffalo wings. I made 8 pounds of these for a group of 5 and they were gone in 10 minutes. They are crunchy on the outside and super tender and juicy on the inside.
Don’t let the oven temperature or length of time scare you. Just follow the recipe and you won’t be disappointed.
