Instructions

• Preheat oven to 250°F. Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil and fit a wire rack into the sheet. Lightly brush the rack with a small amount of the 1 tablespoon oil listed to prevent sticking.
• Pat the 1 1/2–2 lbs chicken wings dry with paper towels. Place the wings in a large bowl, add 2 teaspoons baking powder and 1 teaspoon salt, and toss until evenly coated.
• Arrange the wings in a single layer on the prepared wire rack, making sure they are not touching.
• Place the baking sheet on the lower oven rack and bake at 250°F for 30 minutes.
• While the wings bake, make the sauce: in a saucepan over medium heat add the remaining oil (from the 1 tablespoon listed). Sauté 4 cloves minced garlic and 2 tablespoons minced ginger until fragrant, about 2–3 minutes.
• Add 2 tablespoons white (or brown) sugar, 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 4 tablespoons gochujang, 2 tablespoons butter, and 2 tablespoons honey to the pan. Reduce heat to low and cook, stirring, for about 3 minutes, until the butter melts and the sauce is slightly thickened. Remove the pan from heat and keep the sauce warm.
• After the first 30 minutes, increase the oven temperature to 425°F. Move the baking sheet to the upper oven rack and continue baking the wings for an additional 45 minutes, or until the wings are golden brown and crispy.
• Remove the wings from the oven and transfer them to a large bowl. Pour the warm sauce over the wings and gently toss until they are evenly coated.
• Arrange the sauced wings on a serving plate and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds, chopped green onions, and crushed toasted peanuts. Serve immediately.
