  • Marinate wings with kewpie mayonnaise, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix well and marinate for at least one hour or overnight for best results.
    • 2 lb chicken wings (907 g)

      • To make the sauce for the wings: in a small bowl, combine soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, gochujang, and garlic. Mix well and simmer on medium low heat for 4-5 minutes or until sauce has reduced by one third. Sauce should be thickened and coat the back of a wooden spoon. Set aside.
