Ingredients

The Wings

  • 2 lb Chicken wings
  • 1/2 tsp Baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp Kosher Salt

The Sauce

  • 1/3 cup Molasses
  • 5 Tbsp Gochujang
  • 4 Tbsp Ketchup
  • 3 Tbsp Finely chopped ginger
  • 2 Tbsp Finely chopped garlic
  • 2 Tbsp Brown sugar
  • 2 Tbsp Sesame oil
  • 2 Tbsp Soy sauce

The Garnish - Optional

Instructions

Baking The Chicken Wings

  • Preheat the oven to 250 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Place a wire rack on a tin foiled baking sheet (for easier cleanup) and spray it with non-stick oil.
  • In a large bowl, add the chicken wings. Add the baking powder and salt and mix, making sure that the baking powder coats the chicken wings well.

  • Place the wings on the wire rack (single layer) and bake them in the oven for 30 minutes.
  • After that, increase the temperature to 425 degrees F and continue to bake for 40 to 50 minutes until they are golden brown and crispy. For more even cooking, turn the wings halfway through.
  • Remove and set aside.

Making The Sauce

  • While the wings are baking, add the gochujang, ketchup, brown sugar, molasses, soy sauce, sesame oil, ginger, and garlic in a bowl.
    1/3 cup Molasses, 5 Tbsp Gochujang, 4 Tbsp Ketchup, 3 Tbsp Finely chopped ginger, 2 Tbsp Finely chopped garlic, 2 Tbsp Brown sugar, 2 Tbsp Sesame oil, 2 Tbsp Soy sauce
  • Whisk well until it’s well combined.

Finishing The Asian Chicken Wings

  • Heat a large skillet at medium-high heat.
  • Depending on the size of the skillet and the number of wings, you may need to do these in batches.
  • Add the sauce to the skillet and heat the sauce until it starts boiling. Next, add the wings to the sauce and mix to coat well.
  • When the wings are sufficiently covered, remove them from the pan. Plate them up and garnish them with plenty of green onion and sesame seeds.
