Ingredients

Main Ingredients

2 pounds chicken wings separated into drumettes and flats
2 cups flour sifted
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1 cup buttermilk
4 cups vegetable oil for frying

Honey Butter Sauce

1/2 cup honey
1/4 cup unsalted butter melted
1 tablespoon soy sauce
2 cloves garlic minced
1 teaspoon gochujang

Instructions

1 In a large bowl, combine flour, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
2 In another bowl, pour the buttermilk over the chicken wings and let them sit for 10 minutes.
3 Heat vegetable oil in a large pot over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
4 Dredge the chicken wings in the flour mixture, ensuring they are well-coated.
5 Carefully place the coated wings into the hot oil and fry for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
6 Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, combine honey, melted butter, soy sauce, minced garlic, and gochujang. Simmer on low heat until smooth and well-blended.
7 Remove the cooked wings from the oil and let them drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
8 Toss the fried wings in the honey butter sauce until they are evenly coated.
9 Serve the wings hot, garnished with chopped green onions or sesame seeds if desired.
