Gochujang Chicken Wings

 

This is a great crispy chicken wing recipe from a restaurant in San Francisco! I made half of the recipe and omitted the Korean chili powder. Baking the chicken wings tossed with canola oil, salt and pepper for 45-50 min at 450 degrees makes a very nice and crispy chicken wing. The kids liked eating the chicken wing just like that without any sauce. Next time, I would make sure to spray with more cooking spray on the lined foil to prevent the chicken wings from sticking.
