Avoiding Additives and Preservatives

Gochujang usually contains preservatives, but I used O’Food brand, which is additive-free and available from Amazon.ca. I used Marukan rice vinegar, tamari instead of soy sauce and Lee Kum Kee sesame oil.

Air fried Korean chicken wings

Ingredients:

Wings

1 ½ lbs (680 g) chicken wings

1 tbsp (15 ml) baking powder

1 tsp (5 ml) kosher salt

Sauce

¼ cup (60 ml) gochujang

2 cloves garlic, finely minced

1 tbsp (15 ml) minced fresh ginger

1 tsp (5 ml) sesame oil

3 tbsp (45 ml) unseasoned rice vinegar

2 tbsp reduced-sodium soy sauce

3 tbsp (45 ml) honey

To serve

3 green onions, thinly sliced

2 tbsp (30 ml) white sesame seeds

Preparation:

Place wings in a large bowl. Combine baking powder and salt in a small bowl and sprinkly mixture over wings to coat them evenly.

Place the wings in the air fryer basket, in a single, evenly- paced layer. Air fry the wings for 30 minutes at 450 F (230 C) for 30 minutes, flipping halfway through.

While the wings cook, combine the sauce ingredients in a small bowl and whisk until well combined. Sauce can be made 24 hours in advance and stored, covered, in the refrigerator.

Transfer the cooked wings to a bowl and toss with some of the sauce to coat evenly. You can serve the wings at this point or broil them for 1-2 minutes per side to brown them.

Garnish with green onions and sesame seeds and serve with the remaining sauce. Serves 4.
