Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a saucepan, combine dark brown sugar, gochujang, soy sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, and sesame oil. Heat over medium-low for 3-4 minutes until thickened.
  2. Sprinkle the chicken wings with salt, pepper, and remaining grated ginger, ensuring even coating.
  3. Coat the seasoned wings in cornflour until evenly covered for optimal crunch.
  4. Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan. Fry coated wings in batches for 8-10 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
  5. Remove wings and drain on kitchen paper for about 2 minutes to remove excess oil.
  6. Reheat the sauce gently, then add drained wings and toss until fully coated in sauce.
  7. Transfer to a serving bowl and garnish with sesame seeds and sliced spring onions before serving.
