- Diet: Dairy-Free, Gluten-Free Option
Description
This buffalo wings recipe offers a fantastic flavor twist with a vibrant Roasted Garlic & Gochujang Sauce and a Toasted Sesame Glaze, perfect for weeknight dinners or casual gatherings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 kg (3.3 lb) chicken wings, separated into drumettes and flats, wingtips removed
- 10 g (2 tsp) baking powder (aluminum-free)
- 5 g (1 tsp) fine sea salt
- 2 g (0.5 tsp) black pepper, freshly ground
- 3 g (0.75 tsp) garlic powder
- 1 head garlic, roasted and mashed (about 45 g pulp)
- 80 g (6 tbsp) gochujang (Korean chili paste)
- 65 ml (4 tbsp + 1 tsp) non-alcoholic rice vinegar
- 45 ml (3 tbsp) soy sauce (use wheat-free tamari or halal-certified brand)
- 60 ml (4 tbsp) honey
- 15 g (1 tbsp) fresh ginger, grated
- 10 g (2 tsp) light brown sugar
- 15 ml (1 tbsp) neutral oil (such as canola or grapeseed)
- 15 ml (1 tbsp) toasted sesame oil
- 10 g (2 tsp) toasted sesame seeds
- 15 g (0.25 cup) scallions, thinly sliced
Instructions
- Preheat Oven & Roast Garlic: Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F). Slice off the top 0.25 inch of a whole garlic head, drizzle with a little neutral oil, wrap in foil, and roast for 30-40 minutes until very soft. Squeeze out pulp and mash well (about 45g or 3 tbsp).
- Prepare & Season Wings: Pat chicken wings thoroughly dry with paper towels. In a large bowl, toss wings with baking powder, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder until evenly coated.
- Bake Wings to Crispy Perfection: Arrange seasoned wings in a single layer on a wire rack set over a foil-lined baking sheet. Bake in preheated oven at 200°C (400°F) for 40-50 minutes, flipping halfway, until deeply golden brown and crispy (internal temperature 74°C or 165°F). (Shortcut: Air Fryer Method: Cook seasoned wings in a single layer in your air fryer basket at 190°C (375°F) for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway).
- Make Roasted Garlic & Gochujang Sauce: While wings bake, combine mashed roasted garlic pulp, gochujang, 60 ml (0.25 cup) non-alcoholic rice vinegar, soy sauce, 30 ml (2 tbsp) honey, grated fresh ginger, light brown sugar, and 15 ml (1 tbsp) neutral oil in a small saucepan. Whisk until smooth. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, for 5-7 minutes until slightly thickened and fragrant. Remove from heat.
- Prepare Toasted Sesame Glaze: In a separate small bowl, whisk together 30 ml (2 tbsp) honey, toasted sesame oil, 5 ml (1 tsp) non-alcoholic rice vinegar, and toasted sesame seeds until well combined and slightly glossy. Set aside.
- Sauce the Wings: Once wings are crispy and cooked through, transfer them to a large mixing bowl. Pour the warm Roasted Garlic & Gochujang Sauce over the hot wings and toss gently but thoroughly until every wing is evenly coated.
- Garnish & Serve: Arrange sauced wings attractively on a platter. Drizzle the Toasted Sesame Glaze generously over the wings. Finish by sprinkling thinly sliced scallions evenly over the top. Serve immediately.
Notes
Patting wings extremely dry is crucial for crispiness. For a milder, sweeter option, swap the Gochujang sauce entirely with a honey-garlic sauce (1/2 cup honey, 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 tbsp rice vinegar, simmered until thickened).
