Servings:6 servings
Ingredients
- 1 ½ pounds bone-in chicken wings, I used wings and drumsticks
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ¼ cup flour
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon cracked black pepper
korean bbq sauce
- 6 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce, or THICK soy sauce if your grocery store carries it
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon sriracha, or 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon cold water + 1 teaspoon corn starch
- chopped green onions and sesame seeds, optional garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with foil and place a cooling rack on top of the foil.
- Stir together flour, salt, and black pepper. Pat wings dry with paper towels. Brush with oil, then toss in the flour mixture and arrange in a single layer (not touching) on the cooling rack.
- Bake for 15 minutes, then broil for 2-3 minutes until crispy. WATCH CLOSELY so they don't burn.
- While chicken wings are baking, prepare the sauce by combing soy sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, sriracha, sesame oil, and garlic in a medium sauce pan. Bring to a boil, stir together cold water and corn starch until dissolved, then whisk corn starch slurry into the boiling sauce. Once thickened, remove from heat.
- Toss wings in the sauce and garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds if desired before serving.
Notes
This recipe as written makes 1.5 pounds chicken wings - for me this was about 16 wings. At 2-4 wings each, this would serve 4-6 people as an appetizer.
