Ingredients

Main Ingredients

2 pounds chicken wings
2 cups flour sifted
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
1/2 cup cornstarch
1 cup buttermilk
4 cups vegetable oil for frying

Sweet Garlic Glaze

1/2 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup honey
2 tablespoons gochujang (Korean chili paste)
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
4 cloves garlic minced
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon sesame seeds toasted

Instructions

1 In a large bowl, combine the flour, cornstarch, salt, and black pepper.
2 Dip each chicken wing into the buttermilk, then coat with the flour mixture. Shake off any excess and set aside.
3 Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot or deep fryer to 350°F (175°C).
4 Fry the chicken wings in batches for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
5 Remove the wings from the oil and let them drain on paper towels.
6 To prepare the glaze, combine soy sauce, honey, gochujang, rice vinegar, minced garlic, and sesame oil in a saucepan. Simmer over medium heat until slightly thickened.
7 Toss the fried chicken wings in the glaze until fully coated.
8 Sprinkle toasted sesame seeds over the glazed wings before serving.
