Korean Glazed Chicken Wings

Dry brining these wings ahead helps crisp up the skin and season the meat.
Ingredients
Serves 46
- 1 tbsp kosher salt
- 1⁄2 tsp baking soda
- 3 lbs. split chicken wings
- 1⁄4 cup gochujang
- 1⁄3 cup light soy sauce
- 1⁄4 cup sesame oil
- 1⁄4 cup canola oil
- 2 tbsp grated ginger
- 2 tbsp grated garlic
- 2 tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds (optional), for garnish
Directions
Plan Ahead: Wings need to dry brine in refrigerator for 8 hours, or overnight
Dry Brine Wings
- Combine salt and baking soda, and toss with chicken wings. Place chicken on rack over baking sheet and refrigerate, uncovered, for 8 hours, or overnight.
Marinate Wings
- In bowl, combine gochujang and soy sauce, and stir until gochujang is fully incorporated. Stir in oils, ginger and garlic.
- Pour 1⁄2 cup of mixture over wings and toss to coat evenly. Add honey to remaining marinade.
Grill Wings
- Heat barbecue in order to cook over indirect heat at 425°F.
- Place wings over low element and cook, turning and moving occasionally, for about 40 minutes, or until meat is browned and cooked through.
Glaze And Finish Wings
- Remove wings to bowl and toss with half of remaining glaze. Turn barbecue to medium-high and return wings to grill for 5 more minutes, until caramelized.
- Remove from grill. Brush with remaining glaze and sprinkle with sesame seeds, if desired. Serve with wet wipes!
