Preparation
- Step 1
Cut 3 pounds of chicken wings into three sections; save the wing tips for stock. Toss the wings with a little neutral oil to keep them from sticking.
- Step 2
Heat a charcoal or gas grill; the fire should be moderately hot and the rack 4 to 6 inches from the heat. Leave one side of the grill cooler for indirect cooking.
- Step 3
Put the wings on the cool side of the grill. Cover the grill and cook, checking and turning once or twice, until most of the fat has been rendered, and the wings are cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes.
- Step 4
While the wings cook, combine ¼ cup soy sauce, ¼ cup Korean red chili paste or sriracha, 2 tablespoons rice vinegar, 2 tablespoons honey, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, 2 tablespoons minced garlic and 1 tablespoon minced ginger in a large bowl.
- Step 5
When the wings are cooked, add them to the bowl with the sauce, and toss to coat. Now put the wings on the hot part of the grill, and cook, uncovered, turning as necessary, until they’re nicely browned on both sides.

No grill, so used this easy way to get wings crisp: Toss wings in 2 T. baking powder and some Kosher salt. Bake on middle lower rack at 250° for 30 min. Then another 40-50 min. on upper middle rack at 425°.
My red chili paste was super hot, so I used less. Yum.
The grill is buried in snow, so I prepared in the oven the way Peg suggested. Jake, I figured out the answer to your question the hard way. After the wings cook in oven for 30 min at 250 (coated in baking powder and salt), do NOT toss them in sauce when you put them in the oven at 425...wait until the last 5 to 10 minutes, then toss in sauce. When I tossed them in the sauce before the 425 oven stage, the sauce burned.
I used the marinade recipe for grilled chicken instead of wings. Doubled the recipe and poured it over about 4 lbs of chicken thighs which I let marinate for about 2 hours. It was excellent! Easy and very flavorful.
These were amazing. Like many others I don’t have a grill, so the oven method that worked best for me was tossing them in about 2TBSP baking powder, baking at 450 for 40 mins, tossing them in the sauce, and then putting them back in the oven at 350 for about 10 more mins just until the sauce carmelized and got a slight char. They were phenomenal and super easy.
Excellent!!! Hit the mark on every level. Able to do on the grill. Followed instructions and recipe to the T except added a bit of cornstarch to the sauce as one person suggested. Adding to favorites and will serve to guests.
So delicious. A perfect recipe. I used the left over sauce for a carrot salad with ribboned carrots, cilantro, chopped peanuts, cucumber and all the other greens in my fridge. Couldn't waste this sauce, too good!
