Method
Marinating the Chicken
- 1
Prepare Marinade
In a large bowl, combine soy sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, sesame oil, and black pepper. Mix well.
- 2
Marinate Chicken
Add the chicken wings to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best flavor.
Preparing the Coating
- 3
Mix Coating Ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and water until smooth and well combined.
Frying the Chicken
- 4
Heat Oil
In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
- 5
Coat and Fry Chicken
Remove the marinated chicken from the refrigerator. Dip each wing into the coating mixture, allowing excess batter to drip off. Carefully place the wings into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.

Drain Chicken
Using a slotted spoon, remove the fried chicken and place it on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Making the Sauce
- 7
Prepare Sauce
In a small saucepan, combine gochujang, honey, sugar, and rice vinegar. Cook over medium heat, stirring until the sauce is smooth and slightly thickened, about 5 minutes.

Toss Chicken in Sauce
Once the chicken is fried and drained, place it in a large bowl. Pour the prepared sauce over the chicken and toss until the wings are evenly coated.

Garnish and Serve
Sprinkle sesame seeds and chopped green onions over the sauced chicken and serve hot.
