Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prep the Wings: Wash the chicken wings and pat them dry. In a large bowl, sprinkle with salt, white pepper, garlic powder, and Chinese 5 spice. Toss until evenly coated.
  2. Air Fry: Preheat the air fryer to 200°C (400°F). Arrange wings in a single layer, spray with cooking spray, and air fry for 10 minutes. Flip and cook for an additional 8-10 minutes until golden brown.
  3. Make the Sauce: In a medium saucepan, combine light soy sauce, honey, grated ginger, minced garlic, butter, and gochujang paste. Bring to a gentle boil and simmer for about 5 minutes until thickened.
  4. Coat Wings: Remove wings from the air fryer, place in a bowl, pour the glaze over, and toss gently to coat.
  5. Serve: Transfer glazed wings to a platter and garnish with sesame seeds and green onions.
