Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil, plus more for the basket
  • 2 pounds chicken wings
  • 1/2 teaspoon table salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

For the Sauce

  • 1 tablespoon gochujang paste
  • 3 tablespoons ketchup
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 2 large cloves garlic, pressed or minced

For the Optional Garnishes

  • Gochugaru flakes
  • Fresh chopped cilantro

Instructions

  • Brush the air fryer basket with vegetable oil.
  • Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels, then toss with salt, pepper, and 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil.
  • Arrange the wings in the air fryer basket and cook at 400°F for 10 minutes. Turn them over and cook for 8 to 12 minutes longer, depending on size. They should register at least 165°F on an instant-read thermometer inserted in a thick drumette (not touching bone). Even though the wings are safe at 165°F, they will be crispier and juicier when cooked to 185°F to 205°F.

  • About 8 minutes before the wings are done, combine the sauce ingredients in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 2 minutes.

  • When the wings are done, use tongs to transfer them to a bowl. Add the heated sauce and gently toss to coat. Or as a less messy alternative, serve the crispy wings with the sauce on the side for dipping.
