Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 425°F. Pat 2 lb chicken wings dry and place on a baking sheet lined with foil. Season with salt and pepper.

  2. Step 2

    Bake wings for 20-25 minutes until golden and crispy, turning once halfway. While they bake, thinly slice 1 red onion and toss with a pinch of salt and a splash of vinegar (if you have it).

  3. Step 3

    In a small bowl, mix 3 tbsp gochujang, 2 tbsp honey, and 1 tbsp water to make a glaze. In another bowl, stir 1/2 cup yogurt with a pinch of salt and pepper for the dipping sauce.

  4. Step 4

    When wings are done, toss them in the glaze until fully coated. Sprinkle with 1 tbsp sesame seeds.

  5. Step 5

    Serve wings with pickled onions and yogurt sauce on the side. Garnish with cilantro or parsley if you have some.
