Spicy Korean Chicken Wings
These baked finger-licking spicy Korean chicken wings are super flavorful with authentic Korean spices and even more perfect for game day!
Annndd I’m back with yet another delicious recipe for dat ass, ha!
A little dramatic, yes, but I’m happy to talk about these wings with you guys. I love chicken wings. Like I really do. Earlier this year I made these lemon pepper chicken wings, go check ’em out too!
Okay, let’s get into these wings, shall we.
I absolutely love Asian cuisine, culture, flavors, etc. This recipe is my first go around Korean based flavors and it came out so good. And did I mention how easy these spicy Korean chicken wings are? Yup.
As I mentioned before, these are baked wings which helps cut out many things, yet, the wings still have that signature crispness to them. They’ll roast in the oven at 450°F until cooked through, crispy, and golden brown in color. Yup, so far, so good, regular ole chicken wings, right?
Now let’s talk about this sauce, or as I like to say, sawce. This spicy, sweet, sticky, and flavorful sauce is what makes these Korean chicken wings! Huge powerhouse asian flavors like gochujang, fresh ginger, Korean chili powder, and toasted sesame oil, reign in the completion of these wings. They’re super delicious and all of those flavors combined make these spicy Korean chicken wings such a real treat for your palate when you wanna step up your game!
Enjoy, friends! ♥︎

This is my family’s favorite wing recipe. It’s CRAZY good! We are making them again for the Super Bowl (party of 3). Go Tampa Bay! I made these straight from the recipe above and then I made them with paleo subs and both were equally INCREDIBLE! Thanks Quin!
