These crispy air fryer Korean BBQ chicken wings deliver a perfect balance of sweet, spicy, and smoky flavors with an irresistible crunchy skin, ready in under 30 minutes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds (900g) chicken wings, split into flats and drumettes (skin-on)
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder (aluminum-free recommended)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons gochujang (Korean chili paste)
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon grated ginger
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 2 stalks green onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 teaspoon sesame seeds

Instructions

  1. Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels to ensure crispy skin (about 5 minutes). Toss wings with baking powder, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
  2. Preheat air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 3 minutes. Arrange wings in a single layer in the basket without touching; cook for 25 minutes, flipping halfway at 12 minutes. Wings should be golden, crisp, and reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  3. While wings cook, whisk together gochujang, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, and sesame oil in a bowl. Adjust sweetness or spice as desired.
  4. Immediately place cooked wings in a large bowl and toss thoroughly with the Korean BBQ sauce to coat evenly.
  5. Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds. Serve hot for best crunch and flavor.

Notes

Dry wings thoroughly before coating with baking powder to ensure crispiness. Flip wings halfway through cooking for even crisping. Toss wings in sauce immediately after cooking to prevent soggy skin. Avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket. If wings are not crispy enough, air fry for an additional 3-5 minutes while watching closely. Sauce can be simmered briefly if too runny.
