You need: - 3 cloves garlic, minced - 1 teaspoon grated ginger - 1 tablespoon rice vinegar - Salt and pepper to taste Garnishes add a nice touch. Consider these options: - 2 teaspoons sesame seeds - 2 green onions, sliced To start, grab a large mixing bowl. Add the following ingredients: - 1/4 cup soy sauce - 2 tablespoons gochujang - 1 tablespoon honey - 1 tablespoon sesame oil - 3 cloves garlic, minced - 1 teaspoon grated ginger - 1 tablespoon rice vinegar - Salt and pepper to taste Mix all these well. You want a smooth blend. This marinade brings bold flavors to the wings. Now, take your 2 pounds of chicken wings. Add them to the bowl with the marinade. Make sure each wing gets fully coated. Cover the bowl, then place it in the fridge. Let it sit for at least 1 hour. For the best taste, marinate overnight. Preheat your air fryer to 380°F (193°C). After marinating, take the wings out. Set aside the leftover marinade for later. Place the wings in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook for 25-30 minutes. Shake the basket halfway through for even cooking. While the wings cook, heat the reserved marinade in a small saucepan. Heat it over medium for about 5-7 minutes. This will thicken to become your glaze.

Pat them with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This helps the skin crisp up in the air fryer. Preheat the air fryer to 380°F (193°C). Cooking them at this temperature gives you that perfect crunch. Remember to shake the basket halfway through cooking. This ensures even crisping on all sides. Marinating is key for flavor. I like to marinate the wings for at least one hour. For the best taste, let them sit overnight. Make sure to cover the bowl tightly. This keeps the flavor in and the wings moist. When you are ready to cook, shake off any excess marinade. This prevents soggy wings. One common mistake is overcrowding the air fryer basket. This can lead to uneven cooking. Always cook in a single layer for the best results. Another mistake is skipping the resting time after cooking. Letting the wings rest for a few minutes lets the juices settle. This keeps them juicy and flavorful when you bite in. {{image_2}} You can change the flavor of your wings by mixing up the marinade. Try adding orange juice for a citrus twist. You can also use pineapple juice for a sweet touch. If you like it spicy, add more gochujang or some red pepper flakes. For a smoky flavor, mix in a bit of smoked paprika. Each change makes your wings unique! If you have allergies, there are easy swaps. Use tamari instead of soy sauce for a gluten-free option. You can also make a honey substitute using maple syrup if you're vegan. For those allergic to sesame, use olive oil instead of sesame oil. Just make sure your other ingredients are safe for your needs. Air Fryer Korean BBQ wings pair well with many sides. Serve them with steamed rice for a filling meal. You can also add a fresh salad or some crunchy veggies. Pickled radishes are great for a tangy bite. If you want a snack, try serving them with kimchi. This adds a nice kick and complements the wings well. To store leftover wings, let them cool slightly. Place them in an airtight container. You can keep them in the fridge for up to three days. If you want them to last longer, freezing is a great option. Just make sure they are completely cool before putting them away. To freeze the wings, place them in a freezer-safe bag. Remove as much air as you can before sealing. This helps prevent freezer burn. You can freeze them for up to three months. Thaw them overnight in the fridge before reheating. For the best taste, reheat the wings in your air fryer. Set the air fryer to 350°F (175°C). Cook for about 10-15 minutes until they are hot and crispy. You can also use an oven if you don’t have an air fryer. Just cover them loosely with foil to keep them from drying out. Enjoy those tasty wings! Yes, you can use frozen wings! Just make sure to thaw them first. This helps the marinade soak in. For best results, marinate the wings overnight. Then, follow the cooking steps as usual. To add more heat, use extra gochujang.

Ingredients
  

2 pounds chicken wings

1/4 cup soy sauce

2 tablespoons gochujang (Korean red chili paste)

1 tablespoon honey

1 tablespoon sesame oil

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon grated ginger

1 tablespoon rice vinegar

2 teaspoons sesame seeds

2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

In a large mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce, gochujang, honey, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, rice vinegar, salt, and pepper. Mix well to create the marinade.

    Add the chicken wings to the marinade, ensuring they are completely coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for maximum flavor.

      Preheat the air fryer to 380°F (193°C).

        Remove the wings from the marinade and set aside the leftover marinade for brushing later.

          Place the chicken wings in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook for 25-30 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through for even cooking.

            While the wings are cooking, heat the reserved marinade in a small saucepan over medium heat until it thickens slightly (about 5-7 minutes) – this will be your glaze.

              Once the wings are golden brown and crispy, brush them with the thickened glaze and cook for an additional 5 minutes in the air fryer.

                Carefully remove the wings from the air fryer and let them rest for a few minutes.

                  Serve the wings garnished with sesame seeds and sliced green onions.
