Instructions

Step 1: In a large bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup soy sauce, 1 tbsp gochugaru, 4 cloves minced garlic, 2 tbsp brown sugar, 1 tbsp rice vinegar, 1 tsp sesame oil, and 1 tsp grated ginger to create the marinade.
Step 2: Add 2 lbs chicken wings to the marinade, tossing to coat thoroughly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight for best flavor.
Step 3: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Step 4: Grill the marinated chicken wings for 20-25 minutes, turning every 5 minutes, until the wings are cooked through and have charred crispy edges.
Step 5: Transfer wings to a serving platter and garnish with 3 tbsp sliced green onions and 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds before serving.
