Honey Gochujang Wings

I’m a huge buffalo wing lover. There’s nothing like the mix of spicy, buttery buffalo sauce and a bowl of creamy blue cheese dressing. BUT, sometimes I like to get fancy and show off when my friends come over. That’s where these Korean-inspired wings come into play. I can these Korean inspired because I also infuse other Asian flavors into the dish.

I basically took the traditional buffalo sauce (combining a hot sauce and butter for a melty, spicy sensation) and swapped out the hot sauce for Gochujang (Korean chili paste) and the butter, for well, miso butter. Yum. And I added a few other ingredients such as soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, garlic powder, and of course, honey. Sprinkle some black and white sesame seeds on top… add some sliced chives or scallions and you have an impressive AF dinner dish.

Before we get started, I also want to note that you can make your wings from scratch, or you can buy frozen wings that are already crispy and unseasoned.
