Method

  1. 1 Cut the chicken wings in half, toss with salt and pepper, and let them marinate for 15 minutes.
  2. 2 Mix cornstarch with flour and egg to form a thick coating, then dip each piece of chicken evenly into it.
  3. 3 Heat the oil to 160 degrees, fry the chicken for 8 minutes the first time, then remove and let it drain for 5 minutes.
  4. 4 Increase the oil temperature to 180 degrees, fry for a second time for 3 minutes until the crust is very crispy, then remove and place on a rack.
  5. 5 Sauté minced garlic with gochujang chili paste, honey, sugar, and vinegar, then simmer for 3 minutes until the sauce thickens.
  6. 6 Add the chicken to the pan of sauce, stir quickly to coat evenly, sprinkle with roasted sesame seeds, and serve immediately while still crispy.
