How to Make Korean BBQ Chicken Wings

Here are some recipes that you can follow:

Recipe 1 (Grill)

• Prep Time: 5 mins
• Cook Time: 1 hour 5 mins
• Total Time: 1 hour 10 mins
• Course: Appetizer
• Cuisine: Korean
• Servings: 20 wings
• Calories: 150

Ingredients

For Chicken:

• 3 lbs chicken wings bone-in, skin on
• Two tablespoons of avocado oil
• One teaspoon of chili powder
• One teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon ground black pepper

For buffalo wing dipping sauce:

• ¼ cup gochujang
• ¼ cup soy sauce
• ¼ cup light brown sugar packed
• ¼ cup honey
• Two tablespoons of tomato paste or ketchup
• Two tablespoons of avocado oil
• 1½ tablespoons sesame oil
• Two tablespoons of garlic paste
• One tablespoon of ginger paste
• One tablespoon of lemon juice for buffalo wing sauce
• Two teaspoons of chili powder
• One teaspoon of sea salt
• ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes

For Garnish:

• sesame seeds
• green onions sliced

Instructions

Chicken:

• Get the grill hot and brush on some avocado oil. Heat one part of your grill to high temperatures for a more indirect cook while keeping another position at a lower temperature.
• The chicken wings should be dried with a cloth and placed in a wide basin.
• Wings from Signature Farms, 3 pounds
• Toss the chicken in the avocado oil, chili powder, salt, and pepper until it is well covered.
• Two tablespoons of oil from an avocado, one teaspoon of chili powder, one teaspoon of salt, and a half teaspoon of powdered black pepper
• Cook the chicken wings for about an hour, flipping them every 10 minutes, by placing them in a single layer in the indirect heat zone of the grill. Closely spacing the wings on the grill generates steam, which prevents the branches from drying out.
• Transfer the wings to the high-heat region of the grill for 3 to 5 minutes, flipping every minute or so until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit. When taking it off the grill, the interior temperature has to be at least 175 degrees Fahrenheit.

Sauce

• Add the sauce ingredients to a small pot and bring to a simmer while the wings cook. Keep stirring until it simmers for 5 minutes. Then, take it off the stove until you’re ready to use it.
• A quarter cup of gochujang, a quarter cup of soy sauce, a quarter cup of light brown sugar, a quarter cup of honey, two tablespoons of tomato paste, two tablespoons of avocado oil, one and a half tablespoons of sesame oil, two tablespoons of garlic paste, one tablespoon of ginger paste, one tablespoon of lemon juice, two teaspoons of chili powder, one teaspoon of sea salt, and one-half teaspoon of red pepper flakes
• Throw the wings in a basin, pour the sauce over them, and toss to coat.
• Serve with chopped green onions and sesame seeds for garnish.
• Toasted sesame with scallion

1) try different marinades such as soy sauce, honey, ginger, and garlic

2) add vegetables like carrots, broccoli, or bell peppers

3) use boneless chicken breasts instead of wings

4) try adding other ingredients like sesame oil, cayenne pepper, etc.

Some Extra Tips:

• When serving barbecue chicken wings, you must remember to put the sauce on top rather than inside the heart. Otherwise, the sauce will drip down the sides of the wing and onto the tablecloth.
• Even though chicken is considered safe to eat at 165 degrees, the wings are best when cooked to 175 degrees so that the flesh easily separates from the bone.
• Crispy skin is achieved by frying for only a few minutes at a high temperature.
• Because of the sugar level, adding sauce to the wings while they’re cooking can cause them to burn and stick and produce a significant mess on the grill.
• The savory dipping sauce isn’t overly fiery, but it has a nice balance of sweetness and heat. If you want things on the spicier side, add more chili powder or gochujang sauce.
• When grilling wings, it’s a good idea to oil both the grill and the chicken to keep them from sticking.
• Since it has a high smoking point, avocado oil is the finest choice for grilling. Vegetable oil may be used if you don’t have any, but you’ll need to check the wings closely while they cook. The red chili dipping sauce can be made with vegetable oil instead of avocado oil.
• Start the wings farthest from the flame using a charcoal grill or one without separate heating zones.
