Ingredients

• 2 lbs chicken wings
• 3 tbsp gochujang (Korean chili paste)
• 2 tbsp soy sauce
• 2 tbsp honey
• 1 tbsp rice vinegar
• 1 tbsp sesame oil
• 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tsp fresh ginger, grated
• 4 stalks green onions, thinly sliced
• 2 cups shredded cabbage
• 1 medium carrot, julienned
• 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds
• 2 tbsp vegetable oil
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp black pepper

Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F. Pat dry 2 lbs chicken wings and place on a wire rack over a baking sheet. Season with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper evenly. Bake for 35 minutes until skin is crisp and cooked through.
2. Step 2: In a small saucepan, combine 3 tbsp gochujang, 2 tbsp soy sauce, 2 tbsp honey, 1 tbsp rice vinegar, 1 tbsp sesame oil, 3 minced garlic cloves, and 1 tsp grated ginger. Cook over medium heat for 4-5 minutes, stirring frequently until the sauce thickens and becomes glossy.
3. Step 3: In a large bowl, toss 2 cups shredded cabbage, 1 julienned carrot, and 4 thinly sliced green onions with 2 tbsp vegetable oil and 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds. Mix well and let sit for 5 minutes to develop flavors.
4. Step 4: Remove wings from the oven and brush each wing generously with the gochujang glaze. Return wings to oven and broil on high for 3-4 minutes until the glaze caramelizes and edges become slightly charred.
5. Step 5: Serve the glazed wings immediately with the sesame scallion slaw on the side for a balance of spicy, sweet, and fresh flavors.
