❓ FAQs

Can I use chicken thighs instead of wings?

Absolutely! Boneless thighs work great — just adjust cooking time slightly.

Is gochujang very spicy?

It’s spicy but also sweet, savory, and rich. Heat level is medium unless doubled.

Can I make the sauce ahead of time?

Yes! It keeps in the fridge for up to a week.

Do I need a wire rack?

It helps crisp the wings, but you can bake directly on parchment if needed.
