Intrigued by the magic of Korean chicken wings? Here’s a kosher recipe that captures the essence of this delectable dish. Gather these ingredients: 2 pounds of kosher chicken wings, 1/4 cup soy sauce (make sure it’s kosher-certified), 3 tablespoons gochujang (Korean chili paste), 2 tablespoons honey, 2 tablespoons rice vinegar, 2 teaspoons minced garlic, 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, 1 tablespoon vegetable oil, sliced scallions and sesame seeds for garnish.
Now, let’s get cooking! Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). In a mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce, gochujang, honey, rice vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, sesame oil, and vegetable oil. Whisk the marinade until well combined. Place the chicken wings in a large ziplock bag and pour the marinade over them. Seal the bag and toss gently to ensure the wings are evenly coated. Allow the wings to marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or ideally, overnight.
Once marinated, line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place the wings in a single layer. Reserve the remaining marinade for later. Bake the wings in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy. While the wings are baking, transfer the reserved marinade to a small saucepan and bring it to a simmer over medium heat. Allow it to cook for about 5 minutes, until slightly thickened.
Once the wings are done, remove them from the oven and brush them generously with the thickened marinade. Place the wings back in the oven for an additional 5 minutes to let the glaze caramelize. Carefully remove the wings from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes. Garnish with sliced scallions and sesame seeds for an extra touch of freshness and crunch. Serve these irresistible kosher Korean chicken wings as a standout appetizer or a flavorful main course that will leave everyone wanting more!
