What you'll need

  • Half-sheet pan — Bake, broil, or roast appetizers on a flat, rimmed surface.
  • Small ramekins — Individual portions for dips, baked eggs, and small bites.
  • Pastry brush — Brush egg wash or oil on dough without tearing it.

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Pat the wings thoroughly dry with paper towels, then toss with the avocado oil and sea salt.
  3. Spread the wings evenly on the baking sheet and roast for 40-45 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden, crispy, and at least 165°F internal.
  4. While the wings cook, combine the coconut aminos, raw honey, toasted sesame oil, red chili flakes, minced garlic, and grated ginger in a small saucepan; simmer over medium-low heat for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened — this is the sticky soy-garlic glaze that defines Bonchon wings.
  5. Remove wings from the oven and immediately toss them in the glaze until thoroughly coated.
  6. Serve garnished with the sliced scallions.
