Korean Barbecue Wings

Makes about 4 to 6 servings

The flavor of Korean barbecue lends itself well as a sauce for chicken wings. We love adding a touch of heat by tossing them with sliced chile peppers just before serving.

Ingredients

  • Nonstick cooking spray
  • 2 pounds chicken wings (cut into flats and drumettes)
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt

Sauce:

  • ½ cup soy sauce, reduced sodium
  • ¼ cup mirin
  • 2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons unseasoned rice vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons dark sesame oil
  • 2 scallions (one scallion cut into 1-inch pieces, one thinly sliced), divided
  • 1 garlic clove, crushed
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 2 teaspoons water
  • ½ teaspoon gochugaru (Korean chile flakes)
  • 1 small chile pepper, thinly sliced

Preparation

  1. Place the Air Fryer Basket onto the Baking Pan and coat with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. Place the wings, in a single layer, into the Air Fry Basket. Sprinkle evenly with the salt.
  3. Place into the oven. Set to Air Fry at 400°F and cook the wings until they are golden and crispy, about 25 minutes.
  4. While the wings are cooking, prepare the sauce. Put the soy sauce, mirin, sugar, vinegar, sesame oil, the 1-inch pieces of scallion, and garlic clove into a small saucepan and place over medium heat.
  5. While sauce is heating, mix the cornstarch and water together well to create a thickened slurry. Once the sauce is boiling, whisk in the cornstarch mixture. Stir over heat until sauce thickens. Reserve.
  6. Once wings are nicely browned, toss with sauce, gochugaru, sliced scallion and chile pepper. Serve immediately.
