How to Make Hot Honey Korean Boneless Wings
Prep time: 15 minutes
Cook time: 30 minutes
Servings: 2
Ingredients: 15
Ingredients
Chicken:
- 3 boneless skinless chicken thighs
- 2-3 cups vegetable, canola, or peanut oil, for frying
- Kinder’s Garlic Parmesan Wing Sauce, for dipping or drizzling on top
- Green onions, for garnish
Breading:
- ½ tbsp Misty’s Seasoning
- ½ cup cornstarch
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup sparkling water
- 2 eggs
Sauce:
- 2 tsp canola oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- ½ cup ketchup
- ¼ cup gochujang
- ½ cup Bunsters Hot Honey
- 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds
Instructions
1. Cut the chicken thighs into 1-inch pieces and set aside. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the Misty's seasoning, cornstarch, flour, sparkling water, and eggs until smooth. Add the chicken to the batter and toss until evenly coated.
2. Heat 2–3 cups of oil in a cast iron or deep pan over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F. Fry the chicken in batches for 6-8 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
3. In a pan over medium heat, add the canola oil and sauté the garlic for 1–2 minutes until fragrant. Stir in the soy sauce, ketchup, gochujang, hot honey, and sesame seeds. Bring to a simmer, then remove from heat.
4. Toss the fried chicken in the sauce. Garnish with more sesame seeds, a drizzle of Kinder's Garlic Parmesan Wing Sauce, and green onions. Serve with extra Kinder's sauce for dipping.
Tips & Ways to Customize This Recipe
- Chicken breast works if you prefer leaner meat, or try tofu for a vegetarian twist.
- Dial up the spice with extra gochujang or a pinch of chili flakes. Want it milder? Use less gochujang or opt for a sweeter hot honey.
- Instead of garlic parmesan sauce, try ranch, blue cheese, or a creamy sesame dressing for dipping.
- Garnish with crushed peanuts or crispy fried garlic for added texture.
- Serve over steamed rice to serve this dish as a meal.
