Method
 

Preparation
  1. Prepare Wings: Start with whole chicken wings. For easier eating, you can separate them into drummettes and flats if desired.
  2. Marinate: In a bowl, whisk together gochujang, brown sugar, soy sauce, sesame oil, rice wine vinegar, minced garlic, minced ginger, salt, and pepper. Add the wings to a sealed bag and coat thoroughly in the marinade. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or better yet, overnight.
Cooking
  1. Grilling: Preheat the grill to 400°F. Grill the wings for around 30-40 minutes, flipping every 10-15 minutes until they’re crispy and reach an internal temperature of 165°F.
  2. Baking: Preheat the oven to 400°F. Place the wings on a lined baking sheet and bake for 40-60 minutes until golden and crispy.
  3. Air Frying: Set your air fryer to 380°F. Cook the wings for about 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway through until they achieve that delightful crispiness.
  4. Finish Sauce: In a saucepan, bring the reserved marinade to a boil for 1-2 minutes to thicken.
  5. Serve: Brush the cooked wings with the thickened sauce and garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions.
