Instructions

  1. Heat frying oil in a large pot to 350 F and preheat an oven to 200 F.

  2. Pat chicken wings dry, then marinate them for 30 minutes in a bowl with whisked sherry and soy sauce.

  3. Combine cornstarch, baking powder, garlic powder, and onion powder in a shallow bowl.

  4. Drain marinated wings, then toss to coat completely in the dry mixture.

  5. Fry wings in batches for 10 minutes each, ensuring internal temperature reaches 165 F and they are golden and crispy; transfer fried wings to the 200 F oven to keep warm.

  6. While wings fry, whisk together sesame oil, ketchup, gochujang, honey, brown sugar, soy sauce, and garlic in a small saucepan. Cook this sauce over medium-low heat for 5 minutes, stirring until thickened.

  7. Toss the warm fried wings with the prepared sauce, then garnish with sesame seeds and chopped scallions before serving.
