Preparation

  • Preheat your oven to 220°C (425°F). Line a baking sheet with foil and place a greased wire rack on top.
  • Pat dry the chicken wings with paper towels. In a large bowl, toss wings with baking powder, salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
  • Arrange the seasoned wings on the prepared rack in a single layer. Bake for 20 minutes, flip them over, and bake for an additional 20-25 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
  • Prepare the glaze by combining gochujang, honey, soy sauce, vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, ginger, and brown sugar in a saucepan. Heat over low until it thickens slightly.
  • Transfer the crispy wings to a large bowl, pour the glaze over them, and gently toss to coat every wing.
  • Return the glazed wings to the oven for another 5 minutes to set the glaze.
  • Serve hot, garnished with sesame seeds and chopped green onions, alongside lime wedges.
