Baked Korean Gochujang Chicken Wings are finger licking good – sticky, sweet and a little spicy. My love for chicken wings goes back to my college days in upstate New York when I was first introduced to Buffalo chicken wings. I think my husband (boyfriend at the time) and I must have ordered chicken wings as our midnight snack at least several times a week. The hotter the better.

I created this version of Korean chicken wings for my boys. These wings are baked, not fried, so there’s less mess cooking them and they’re a little bit healthier.

The marinade is made with gochujang, soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, garlic, onion and ginger. For best flavor, I recommend marinating the wings for at least 4 hours in the refrigerator. Overnight would be even better.

For easier cleanup, I lined a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly oiled it. The wings are laid in a single layer.

Just before they were completely done, I flipped the chicken wings over and turned up the oven to brown them nicely. The marinade thickens during the baking process and makes a wonderful glaze for these chicken wings.

          John, so glad you enjoyed these! I do miss my days in Rochester enjoying Buffalo wings – perhaps not quite as authentic as Buffalo’s but still very fond memories!

    Hi Jeanette!

    I made half of the recipe to help me decide if I would go for this for my upcoming potluck gathering. THE ANSWER IS YES! I have very little confidence in baked chicken wings as I’ve had bad experience: getting very dry and bland wings. Your recipe is a bomb! In my opinion, marinating process (4hrs or up to overnight) is the key to the awesome wings.

    Just one question, what do you think of baking 2 trays at the same time? Would you recommend higher temperature or longer baking time for this case? The reason for this question is: my try on this half recipe already filled up one tray, with spaces of 1-1.5cm between each piece. Or you would recommend squeezing them more so that they can make it into 1 tray?

      Hi Angel – so glad you enjoyed these wings! You can try baking 2 trays at the same time. If you have a convection bake setting on your oven, you might try using that; otherwise, I suggest baking the wings for half the time at 350 degrees on the top and middle rack; then switching racks for more even baking. I would definitely leave some room between between the wings so they don’t end up “braising” instead of baking. For the final baking at 400 degrees, you may want to bake 10 minutes with one tray on the top rack; then switch racks and bake another 10 minutes. Hopefully that helps. Let me know how it turns out. Good luck!

        Greetings!

        Fortunately I have the convection feature in my oven and I tried using that! I have been researching for convection baking that they said it provides even burning on the food: it is true! The switching of tray at the end, 10 minutes each tray is a MUST so they don’t overly brown 😉

        I made the recipe for a 8-person potluck party, we still have lots of leftover! Reheated them on the second day and they were gone in seconds 😀 They are definitely a crowd pleaser! Thank you for the recipe!

    Think they would grill well or would the honey cause them to burn quickly?

      If you grill these wings, I suggest placing them on an oiled piece of foil and grilling right on the foil, making sure the temperature doesn’t get above 375.

    My fiancé likes to have chicken wings every week, so I have to keep trying new ways to keep the meal exciting. We also love Korean food after our visit to Korea. I tried this recipe last night and it was really good. I’ll definitely put this recipe in the rotation.
