I've made these twice now. Delicious. Next, I took a half chicken breast, cut it into bite sized pieces. Adjusted cooking times for the smaller pieces but made them the exact same way. I topped them with toasted sesame seeds. These were amazing!

[@michaelwalker7961]

I wrote a comment 2 years ago, someone in our church bought me a tub of the go-2-Jon (they are Korean). I made the recipe to the letter of this recipe...and no one was disappointed...none! LOL thank you ATK, you are awesome.

[@Keniv.]

Well, give us the recipe then! Lol

Pretty sure she just wanted to 🦆 him. That’s a thing for sure. Happening behind the scenes. He cooks too well, she’s in a positions of power. There’s some 🦆 ing going on between them.

[@supercooled]

I think that’s what she wanted to say but had to be fsmily friendly. We all know what she meant and now I’m off to the supermarket for pick up some wings and hopefully track down those Korean paste..

Go to the Asian market. It’s all over the place. I picked up the extra spicy one.

We’re they very spicy?

@@foreignfilmfan We didn’t think they were too spicy. Adjust the red bean paste to your desired heat level and go from there. Happy New Year!!

We made these last night. So good!! The sauce was amazing. Loved how crispy they turned out. The kids gobbled them up.

I always try to tinker with recipes but ATK nailed this one. Bravo!

[@wolfman011000]

I was taught to use 2 parts AP flour 1 part cornflour and 1 part potato starch/flour, by my korean ex-mother inlaw, she also said that you could sub rice flour for the potato starch. She also taught me to season the chicken with salt and pepper prior to battering. Otherwise it is the same as she taught me, I was wondering if you tried the rice and or potato flour and omitted them as they can be hard to find outside of asian markets or online? I'll give your recipe a go next time i make wings, oh if you want to punch up the sauce abit or alot try adding some chili oil. Thanks for all your videos and tv programs over the past 20 years, congratulations and i hope for at least another 20. Take care and God bless you all.

[@kokuvilkokuvil8392]

Thank you . Very useful 😊

[@peterdoe2617]

Fantastic suggestions! Thanks alot from the far north of Germany! Rice flour sounds like a plan. I used to use only starch, to create just a thin layer. But here, we're talking about a batter. Plus I like to marinate my wings in a mixture of soy sauce, freshly ground ginger, garlic and turmeric for at least 2hrs. Even cutting the wings, to allow the marinade to seep in deeper. And offer the same marinade as a dipping sauce, when serving it. So I make a lot of this marinade and then save some of that as a dipping sauce.

[@wolfman011000]

[@katiestott1449]

This recipe is so good! I make this a couple times a month now.

[@GeorgeSagen]

I've made this recipe dozens of times with a variety of sauces, and it's amazing. The chicken is so crispy and holds up to saucing really well. Our favorite sauce so far is actually a mixture of brown sugar and Frank's Red Hot sauce with a touch of honey.

[@ejwright5655]

You should try them wuth Tabasco Chipotle. Freakin awesome.

[@g0lddustt29]

Trader Joes used to sell a "yuzu" hot sauce - I used to make wings EXACTLY like this but my wing mix was that sauce, a few dashes of soy, brown sugar, and some grated ginger & garlic. Absolutely game changing

[@MinhNguyen-wk5fr]

Dan and Julia make such a great team. I need more of them.

[@ramencurry6672]

There is something magical about them together. Love the chemistry

OMG. I'm dying to try those wings. Love that they went for the flats...the best part of the wing.

[@salfalzon263]

My favorite tv show and absolutely the best tasting fried chicken wings I ever had. Did substitute the 3 tbsps of sugar for 1 tbsp of honey. Did not hide the heat but made it a sweeter sauce. Off the hook Thks ATK.

[@charlesclark9627]

I like this recipe (method) will try. Usually dredge in flour and Ms.Dash. The batter is a little different.

[@foreignfilmfan]

I just made this recipe for NYE apps...another EXCELLENT ATK recipe, easy to make, clear directions, consistent results, amazing flavor....and yes-they were CRISPY the day after! Not too spicy-but this may vary due to type/brand of Gochujang paste.

[@cryptomum6110]

Thank you! This is an amazing recipe So good!!

[@jeffccan4464]

This recipe works well. Crispy, juicy, very good.

[@Forevertrue]

I am looking forward to trying this. I have tried it with potato starch alone and Its crispy, but the color is terrible. I will try adding the flour to get that great color.

[@michellefoley5520]

Love you guys and that chicken look amazing

[@chadcoxrox]

Please consider doing a piece on the best Go-Chu-Jang paste and/or sauce!

[@jimmynail75]

I made this last night. They may not be the best chicken wings ever, but they are the best chicken wings I have made myself. The sauce was also perfect . Gochujang is great and now the second recipe I have that it can not be left out of. thanks again fantastic recipe!

[@jforsten9216]

We just made this again, they are so good! Didn't have toasted sesame oil, so I used avocado oil (you can use many other neutral oils) We made over 4lbs so we had to make 2 batches of sauce. We're going to use this sauce on more things!

[@bkh7693]

They missed the two very important things: preparing pre-season wings with salt (not sprinkling a little salt on top of your chicken--it will only season the surface) and boiling the sauce (and cool it off for a couple minutes). Enjoy your wings! Yay! 🥳

[@SuperLinkDaddy1]

I've done it your way and Dan's way. Both taste great but Dan's is easier and quicker.

[@tamararyan7023]

Made them yesterday for the Super Bowl. Absolutely delicious! Made one batch following the recipe. The next batch I added 1tbsp baking powder to the batter. Made them even more crispy. I would recommend grading your ginger and garlic. The sauce is fantastic!

[@rhihodag9873]

I just recently purchased some 'gochujang' sauce as an ingredient for some Korean bulgogi. That stuff is wonderful. I can really see the value of this ingredient in many dishes. Definitely going to make these wings. Nothing better than wings!

[@technoforever888]

[@Silentknight052]

[@peebark]

You'd better use strawberry jam instead sugar. That's the widely known recipe in Korean chicken restaurant.

[@lunal9815]

That’s what I never heard even I’m korean.😅

[@gnomevoyeur]

I've never been to Rochester, but my food research from the other side of the world tells me the most famous dish from there is the "garbage plate". It doesn't seem like something that can be made "gourmet" but if you made a video that made an attempt, I would watch it with gusto.

[@michaelbriggs7607]

These are great per direction. They were so good, I'm doing a second batch tonight at request of the spouse, after the first batch a couple weeks go. My adjustments on this second try, per my own taste, are: less sugar - 2 tbsp instead of 3 (first batch a little sweet for my palate); more heat, 4 Tbs gochujang instead of 3 (I like and am used to spicy food).

[@popiemac4579]

How was your second batch compared to your first? I’d like to reduce the sugar if you ended up preferring the second batch with changes.

[@thesmileyemo]

Did this recipe with sirachia instead of gochujang (couldn't find it) and man it was amazing. Going to try using the sauce as a marinade on some chicken thighs and see if that works as well.

[@RAPINCITE]

Yep I think this was the recipe I was looking for.

[@einundsiebenziger5488]

Keep the tips on the wings! If you can eat them, you know that it's good-quality chicken and it's thoroughly cooked.

[@w4mps1964]

Made ‘em. They were delicious. Made a few mistakes like not frying in a deep enough pot. So had to deal with a little overflow mess 😲 and I think I’ll spice them up a little more next time, probably because I couldn’t find gochujang. Used a mild Moroccan pepper sauce as a substitute. Another great ATK recipe. Haven’t had a bad one yet.

[@sethbrolsma516]

He would’ve had to make a second batch for their taste test. That first one would’ve been all mine.

[@lipstickzombie4981]

Came here for the fried chicken, but that sauce seems to be the biggest winner for me. A different take on the sweet chili sauce.

[@TheNinnyfee]

Gochujang is just the best chili paste because of the fermentation and the sweetness. Not like those cheap sweet chili sauces made of 90% sugar.

[@murphydowning2495]

What are some good uses for this oil after cooking? Would it be good for frying fish/fries or would it change the flavor? I'm not one to ever use oil one time, so curious what I could use it for the next time... thanks

[@ivykaneshiro7554]

👍👍👍👍👍😊😊😊good one. In Hawaii we make this a lot…in the sauce I also add sesame seed and chopped green onions…
