Ingredients
- 6 pounds chicken wings (approx. 24), tips removed and wings split
- 1/4 cup canola oil
- Kosher salt, to taste
- Freshly ground pepper, to taste
- 1/3 cup gochujang (Korean chili paste)
- 2 tablespoons gochugaru (Korean chili powder)
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon water
- 2 teaspoons unseasoned rice vinegar
- 2 teaspoons soy sauce
- 2 teaspoons minced peeled fresh ginger
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- Sesame seeds and thinly sliced scallions, for garnish
Instructions
-
Preheat the Grill: Fire up your Arteflame grill to a medium-high heat, aiming for 350-450°F. Use the water drop test to identify the hottest part of the grill.
-
Prepare the Wings: Toss the wings with canola oil and season generously with kosher salt and pepper. Arrange them on the hotter part of the grill, cooking each side for 12-15 minutes until they're crispy and fully cooked.
-
Make the Angry Sauce: While the wings grill, combine gochujang, gochugaru, sugar, sesame oil, water, rice vinegar, soy sauce, ginger, and garlic in a large bowl. Season with a pinch of pepper.
-
Coat the Wings: Once the wings are crispy, toss them in the prepared sauce until they're well coated.
-
Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle with sesame seeds and scallions before serving hot.
Tips
- The sauce can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator overnight. Simply bring it to room temperature before tossing with the wings.
- For extra crispiness, pat the chicken wings dry before seasoning.
Variations
- For a milder version, reduce the gochugaru and gochujang.
- Add honey or brown sugar for a touch of sweetness.
- Try grilling on a traditional charcoal grill if an Arteflame grill is unavailable.
Best Pairings
- Serve with a side of pickled radish to complement the heat.
- A cold Korean lager or soju pairs excellently with these wings.
- Kimchi and steamed rice make great accompaniments.
Conclusion
These Korean BBQ Chicken Wings bring the perfect balance of heat and umami to your grilling experience. Whether you're serving them at a backyard cookout or a game-day gathering, they are sure to be a hit!
