Instructions
- For Oven: Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

- When the wings are ready and cooked through, add into the bowl and toss to combine.

Notes
- Use skin-on chicken wings: Chicken wings with skin on will result in a crispier texture and also help to keep the meat moist while baking.
- Line the baking sheet with parchment paper: Lining the baking sheet with parchment paper will help prevent the chicken from sticking and make cleanup easier.
- Adjust the spiciness level to your preference: Gochujang can be quite spicy, so adjust the amount used based on your personal preference.
- Make sure the chicken is cooked through: Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the chicken has reached an internal temperature of at least 165°F (74°C) before serving.
- Garnish with sesame seeds and scallions: To add some extra flavor and texture, sprinkle sesame seeds and sliced scallions over the finished chicken wings before serving.
