Crispy and flavorful, these Air-Fried Korean Chicken Wings are coated in a spicy, sweet, and savory gochujang sauce. Made in the air fryer for a healthier twist on a Korean classic appetizer or game-day favorite.

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds chicken wings, split and tips discarded
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon gochujang (Korean chili paste)
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
  • 1 green onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat an air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  2. Pat chicken wings dry with paper towels. Place in a large bowl and season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and baking powder. Toss to coat evenly.
  3. Add vegetable oil to the wings and toss again to coat.
  4. Place wings in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook in batches if needed. Air fry for 25–30 minutes, shaking the basket every 10 minutes, until the wings are golden brown and crispy.
  5. Meanwhile, in a small saucepan over medium heat, combine soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, brown sugar, gochujang, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger. Simmer for 3–5 minutes until slightly thickened. Remove from heat.
  6. Transfer cooked wings to a large bowl. Pour the sauce over the wings and toss to coat evenly.
  7. Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds before serving.

Notes

  • For extra crispy wings, make sure to thoroughly pat them dry before seasoning.
  • You can adjust the spiciness of the sauce by adding more or less gochujang.
  • This recipe can also be baked in the oven at 425°F for 40–45 minutes, flipping halfway through.
