The chicken wings have the perfect crispiness on the outside (skin part), and the sauce is absorbed and flavors the meat inside without getting soggy.

To make this Korean Chicken Wings recipe, you will need ground paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, garlic powder, Gojuchang sauce, ginger, garlic, honey water, sesame oil, ground mustard, and soy sauce. You can find all of these ingredients in your pantry, from local grocers or online.

Gojuchang is a popular Korean red chili paste that is a savory, sweet, and spicy fermented condiment made from chili powder, glutinous rice, Meju powder, Yeotgireum, and salt. It has a thick and sticky consistency and is spicy and pungent in flavor.

Gojuchang sauce is used in various Korean dishes from bibimpap, salad, stew, soups to marinated meat dishes for BBQ. I've posted a quite few recipes using Gojuchang here.

These wings are made using a pressure cooker. First, I seasoned the wings with dry seasoning, then cooked at high pressure for 5 minutes plus 15 minutes air crisp using my Ninja Foodi Pressure Cooker TenderCrisp. Once cooked and crisped, I dipped and coated the wings in a homemade sauce.

For non-Ninja users, you can follow the same directions, and just crisp the chicken in the oven instead of the air-crisp. I will also add some instructions for cooking these wings using a conventional oven.

I have anInstant Pot Korean Beef recipeon the blog and I thought it was time to share another one of my Instant Pot Korean recipes, which is my easy Korean chicken recipe. What I love about both recipes is that you blend the marinade ingredients, marinate the meat and then pressure cook. They’re so easy and are great make-ahead recipes for when you know you’re going to be busy.

I’ve been making this recipe since I found it in Bon Appetit magazine’s “rsvp” section a few years ago, where a reader requested the recipe for Gochujang Braised Chicken from Oiji in New York City.

The recipe uses a Korean spice called Gochujang which is a thick fermented spicy chile paste. The paste can be quite spicy but has a sweet component to it. Some brands are spicier and/or sweeter than others; you can experiment and find one you like the best.

I’ve adapted the recipe for the Instant Pot and am really pleased with the result. I like to serve it withInstant Pot Fried RiceorInstant Pot Brown Fried Rice.

I prefer to blend the ingredients in my Vitamix blender so that the marinade is smooth. You could also mince the ingredients very finely.

If you’re short on time and can’t marinate the chicken, it’s fine to pressure cook the chicken in the sauce directly. You’ll lose some flavor, but it’ll still be good.

To make Instant Pot Korean chicken wings follow my recipe forInstant Pot Teriyaki Chicken Wings, but substitute this Korean chicken marinade for the teriyaki marinade.

Granulated sugarcan be substituted withbrown sugarorhoney, to taste. You can also add half an Asian pear or Fuji apple to the marinade ingredients instead of sugar.

Gochujang is an ingredient that you may not have on hand. It’s a sweet and spicy Korean fermented red chili paste. I preferChung Jung One Gochujang.

These days gochujang is available in grocery stores. I’ve used different brands that are available at regular grocery stores includingMother in law’s brandwhich is available at Whole Foods and at Amazon.

Gochujang paste is thick. You can also find gochujang sauces, which are the consistency of ketchup and used straight up as a condiment. Try and get the paste.

Mirinis another ingredient that you may not have on hand. It’s a Japanese rice wine that adds a sweet and tangy flavor. Many grocery stores sell ‘Aji Mirin’ which is close to Mirin.

It also tastes wonderful as a Korean Barbecue Chicken; grill the chicken and serve the sauce on the side for dipping. You could broil the chicken in the oven if you don’t have access to agrill.

Since the chicken is first pressure cooked, you’re grilling it just to finish it off and get those grill marks and caramelization. I usually grill it for 2 to 3 minutes on each side.

Although bone-in chicken thighs or drumsticks are preferred, you can substitute whole boneless chicken thighs. Pressure cook for 7 to 8 minutes if you’re not grilling, and 6 minutes if you are grilling.

To make this recipe ahead of time, pressure cook the chicken and refrigerate chicken and sauce separately. Grill chicken right before you’re ready to serve and heat the sauce to serve on the side.

This recipe was made in a6 quart Instant Pot Ultraand I have had no sealing issues or burn errors. If your Instant Pot is prone to getting the Burn Message, you can try and add an extra ¼ cup of broth.
