Ingredients
  

2 lbs chicken wings

1/4 cup soy sauce

2 tablespoons gochujang (Korean chili paste)

2 tablespoons honey

1 tablespoon sesame oil

1 tablespoon rice vinegar

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon ginger, grated

1 tablespoon sesame seeds (for garnish)

2 green onions, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Marinade: In a spacious mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce, gochujang, honey, sesame oil, rice vinegar, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Whisk the mixture thoroughly until it achieves a smooth and uniform consistency. This will be your delicious marinade.

    Marinate the Chicken: Add the chicken wings to the bowl of marinade, ensuring that each wing is generously coated with the marinade. Once coated, cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator. Allow the wings to marinate for at least 1 hour, though overnight is recommended for deeper flavor absorption.

      Preheat the Air Fryer: Prior to cooking, preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for approximately 5 minutes to ensure even cooking.

        Prepare the Wings for Cooking: After marinating, remove the chicken wings from the bowl and let any excess marinade drip off to prevent them from being too saucy during cooking.

          Cook the Wings: Place the wings in a single layer in the air fryer basket, making sure not to overcrowd them (you may need to cook in batches depending on the size of your air fryer).

            Air Fry: Cook the wings for 20-25 minutes. Halfway through the cooking time, flip the wings over to promote even crispiness and browning.

              Check for Doneness: After cooking, check that the wings are crispy and fully cooked; the internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C) for safe consumption.

                Enhance Flavor: For an extra burst of flavor, toss the cooked wings in any remaining marinade and air fry them for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the marinade to caramelize slightly for added depth.

                  Rest the Wings: Once done, carefully remove the wings from the air fryer and let them rest for a couple of minutes, allowing the juices to redistribute.

                    Garnish and Serve: Garnish the wings with a sprinkle of sesame seeds and finely chopped green onions just before serving. This will add a lovely crunch and fresh flavor to your preparation.

                      Prep Time: 10 min | Total Time: 1 hr 5 min | Servings: 4-6

                        - Presentation Tips: Serve the wings on a large platter, garnished with additional sesame seeds and green onions. Accompany with a small bowl of extra gochujang for those who enjoy a little extra heat. Enjoy!
