Instructions

Marinate chicken wings with salt, white pepper, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, and sesame oil. Let sit for 1–2 hours or overnight.
In a bowl, mix flour, cornstarch, salt, white pepper, and baking powder. Add a bit of marinade or water to form small clumps.
Coat wings thoroughly in the dredge and let rest for 5–10 minutes.
Heat oil to 350°F and fry wings in batches for 6–8 minutes. Remove and drain.
Double fry wings for 1–2 minutes until extra crispy. Drain on paper towels.
In a pan, heat oil and sauté garlic and ginger. Add gochujang, soy sauce, brown sugar, honey, vinegar, and water. Simmer until thickened.
Toss fried wings in the sauce until fully coated.
Garnish with sesame seeds or green onions if desired. Serve hot.

Notes

Use hot honey for extra heat.
Reduce gochujang for a milder version.
The sauce also works well with boneless chicken or ribs.
Double frying ensures ultra-crispy wings.
Reheat in oven or air fryer for best texture.
