I love going out for spicy Korean chicken wings, but it’s also easy to bake a tasty version of this wings recipe at home. One of the signature ingredients in Korean hot wings is gochujang, which is a flavorful fermented chili pepper paste. If you can’t find gochujang, then just substitute your favorite BBQ sauce. Your chicken won’t be as “Korean” without gochujang sauce, but the sesame oil and soy sauce will give your baked wings plenty of Asian flavor. And baked chicken wings are easy to cook, less mess and healthier than fried chicken wings, so it’s a great choice for dinner.
Ingredients for Korean Chicken Wings Recipe
2 lbs CHICKEN WINGS
Sauce ingredients:
¼ cup SOY SAUCE
¼ cup GOCHUJANG, a red pepper paste —check gochujang prices on Amazon
1 Tbsp GINGER minced
3-4 cloves GARLIC minced
2 Tbsp RICE VINEGAR
1 tsp SESAME OIL
SUGAR? That’s optional…add 2-3 Tbsp of brown sugar or honey if you like a sweeter sauce.

How to Make Korean Style Wings
Preheat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
In a bowl, simply combine all of the sauce ingredients. Toss the wings with the sauce, then arrange the wings on a wire rack over a baking pan. Bake the wings until done 40-50 minutes, turning and basting occasionally with the remaining sauce.
That’s it! Garnish with toasted sesame seeds and thinly sliced green onions.
Tips for this Baked Korean Wings Recipe
- Gochujang adds great flavor, so buy it if you can find it. You can check current prices for Gochujang paste on Amazon, but this korean hot pepper sauce is becoming very popular and can be found in many mainstream U.S. grocery stores, just check in the international foods section.
- If you can’t find gochujang, substitute your favorite BBQ sauce, the dish will still have plenty of Asian flair with the added soy sauce and sesame oil, just be sure and use a THICK BBQ sauce, or reduce your thinner sauce down in a pot.
- Bake you chicken on a wire rack to keep the wings from becoming a soggy mess.
- You can place aluminium foil under your baking rack to make cleanup a breeze.
