Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Pat chicken wings dry with paper towels. Toss with a pinch of salt and pepper.

  2. Step 2

    Arrange wings in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook at 400°F for 20 minutes, shaking halfway through.

  3. Step 3

    While wings cook, whisk gochujang, honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and minced garlic in a small bowl until smooth.

  4. Step 4

    Stir sesame oil into the sauce. Taste and adjust sweetness or heat as needed.

  5. Step 5

    Transfer cooked wings to a large bowl. Pour sauce over and toss until every piece is coated and glossy.

  6. Step 6

    Plate wings and scatter sesame seeds over the top. Serve immediately while still warm and sticky.
