How to Make Keto Korean Fried Wings

The chicken wings are seasoned with basic seasonings.
I seasoned these low-carb chicken wings with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and a little baking powder.
The baking powder is optional but helps to crisp the chicken wings.
The spicy delicious Korean flavors that come from the gochujang will be added AFTER the wings are cooked.

Preheat oven.
In a large ziplock, toss separated wing pieces with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and a little baking powder.
Spread seasoned chicken wings on a baking sheet with sides and lined with parchment paper. Space the chicken wings out so that they aren’t touching.
Bake wings for 20-25 minutes, baking time will vary according to size of wings. Flig wings, and then cook another 20-25 minutes.

While chicken wings bake, prepare the gochujang sauce by whisking sauce ingredients together.
I made this batch of Gochujang Chicken Wings extra spicy by using two tablespoons of Gochujang, next time I will stick to using one tablespoon. The wings were so spicy, which my husband loves but heat was a little too intense for me.

When chicken wings are done baking, add them to the gochujang sauce mixture.

Toss chicken wings in gochujang sauce until the wings are fully coated.
Transfer the gochujang chicken wings back to the parchment paper lined baking sheet.
Return chicken wings to the oven and bake for 3-5 minutes or until the sauce has dried some. Check the wings every minute or so they do not burn.
