Looking for something a little different this weekend? Try these Korean chicken wings and you won’t be disappointed. Sticky, spicy chicken wings that will leave you wanting more.

The special ingredient that makes these wings so delicious is a Korean spice paste called Gochujang. The spicy yet sweet flavour is unbelievable and transforms these wings to another level. You can find this paste in most supermarkets, I bought mine from Sainsbury’s (link here).

I tried to make these wings the easiest way I knew how. I didn’t want anything complicated that took a long time, nor did I want to be standing at the stove frying wings for ages. Therefore I made them in the oven and they tasted great. Plus it’s a bit healthier! I have fried wings before and I just couldn’t face it this time.

I marinated the wings the night before just to get as much flavour into them as possible. I whacked them in the oven and once crispy, I coated them in a glaze and put them back in the oven to get sticky and golden. Absolutely delicious! They are great to make for friends at a dinner party, as long as you have lots of napkins around! Give them a go this weekend, you won’t be disappointed.
