Instructions
How to grill the chicken wings
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, around 425 degrees.
To prepare the chicken wings, pat dry any excess moisture and sprinkle garlic powder, ground white pepper, and salt on both sides of the wings.
Grill the chicken wings, turning constantly until they are done. Typically, they will get crispy on the outside from the grill. While they are grilling, prepare the sauce.
For the Spicy Asian wing sauce
Combine the rice vinegar, sesame oil, soy sauce, Sriracha, Korean chili flakes (Gochugaru), sesame seeds, sugar, and pinch of salt to a non stick pan.
Heat the sauce until the sugar melts and all the ingredients are combined. Keep warm.
If you like the sauce to be a bit thicker, add 1/2 tablespoon of cornstarch to a little water. Mix the cornstarch and water mixture thoroughly and add it to the sauce while heating. This will thicken the sauce slightly.
Finishing the wings
Once your wings are done, toss well. You want the wings to be completely covered in sauce.
I serve them in a bowl with a spoon on the side, so you can add more sauce if you like.
Top with more sesame seeds, Korean chili flakes and some finely chopped scallions.
Notes
How to serve, store, and reheat
Garnish with more sesame seeds, Korean chili flakes, and some finely chopped green onions/scallions. This recipe is perfect for game day, grilling weekends, or a delicious dinner with a cucumber salad. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. How to reheat: Preheat oven to 350 ℉. Place wings on a parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet and cover with foil paper so they don't dry out. Heat thoroughly and enjoy!
