Notes

1. Dry the wings well: For nice and crispy wings, ensure that the wings are dried really well. 
Then season with salt and pepper and cook.
2. Taste the sauce: As you are making your own gochujang sauce, you can adjust the spice and heat as per taste.
3. Reheating: These wings are best had fresh as they will lose their crispness once they are tossed in sauce.
