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?

Just how spicy are these rated? If really hot how can you make it less so? I’d say I’m in the medium not catagory.
It’s not that spicy to me but you can cut down the heat if you like it to be less spicy.
cut back to like half the gochujang. You can always add it back in later batches
The best wings ever! Didn’t have the Korean chili paste or powder, substituted with red thai curry paste & chili powder. Wonderful recipe, me & my son loved it & this will be a regular supper at our house! Ordered the Korean chili paste & powder from Amazon next day. Sure it will be ever better with those ingredients instead of what I used! Thanks so much for sharing this recipe!
