About this dish

Coarse chili flakes stand in for gochujang, so the wings bake into a rough, spicy crust with the flakes stuck right into the skin.

Instructions

6 steps
  1. 1

    Pat 800g chicken wings dry with paper towels, then make 1 to 2 shallow slits in the thickest part of each wing so the marinade penetrates the interior.

  2. 2

    Mix 1.5 tablespoons gochugaru, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon cooking wine, 1 tablespoon syrup, 1 tablespoon minced garlic, 0.25 teaspoon ginger powder, 0.25 teaspoon pepper, and 1 tablespoon oil.

  3. 3

    Add the marinade to the wings and coat by hand, pressing the marinade into each slit, then refrigerate for at least 20 minutes.

  4. 4

    Preheat the oven to 220C and place the wings with space between them on a baking pan.

    The high 220C temperature bakes the chili powder granules onto the skin to create a crisp crust.

  5. 5

    Roast for 15 minutes, flip the wings, brush on any remaining marinade, and roast 8 to 10 more minutes.

  6. 6

    When the surface is glossy and the edges are deeply browned, check that the thickest wing is cooked through around the bone.

    Rest briefly and serve.

Tips

Brushing on the remaining sauce thinly and baking for the final 8 to 10 minutes sets the gochugaru on the skin and builds gloss.
Because the gochugaru sauce scorches easily, lower the oven temperature if the edges darken too quickly.
For extra heat, replace part of the chili flakes with hot Cheongyang powder.
