Ingredients:

  • 2 pounds (900 g) chicken wings, split at the joint and tips removed
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) gochugaru (Korean chili flakes)
  • 1 tablespoon (15 ml) soy sauce (low-sodium recommended)
  • 1 tablespoon (15 ml) sesame oil
  • 3 teaspoons (15 g) brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon (2 g) salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon (2 g) black pepper
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon (15 ml) honey
  • 1 tablespoon (15 ml) lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon (15 ml) sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon (5 g) sesame seeds, toasted
  • Fresh lime wedges, for serving

Instructions:

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine gochugaru, soy sauce, sesame oil, brown sugar, salt, pepper, and minced garlic.
  2. Add chicken wings to the marinade and coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (up to overnight for more flavor).
  3. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  4. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup. Arrange marinated wings in a single layer on the sheet.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until wings are crispy and golden brown, flipping halfway through.
  6. In a clean bowl, whisk together honey, lime juice, sesame oil, and toasted sesame seeds.
  7. Remove wings from the oven and toss with the prepared glaze. Serve immediately with fresh lime wedges on the side.
