I was able to get some Gojuchan sauce in the local supermarket. It is a Korean garlic/pepper sauce and is very tasty and hard to get here in the Canadian Rockies. I used it for heat in a wings sauce.
I mixed:
I took about 750 grams (2 pounds) of wings and tossed them with 15 ml (1 tbsp) baking powder. I let them sit on a rack for 1/2 hour and then put them in my Traeger Timberline at 200 C (400 F). I sprayed them with a bit of oil.
I let them cook for 20 minutes, flipped them and sprayed with oil. After 20 minutes more, they were nice and crispy. I warmed the sauce and tossed the wings in it.
These were very tasty. The Gojuchan gave some heat. I would use more but the Woman of My Dreams is not heat tolerant. The soy sauce and hoisin gave a salty background, and the sesame oil added an earthy flavour. The baking powder gave the wings a crunchy skin.
The Verdict:
These taste great. I do think I will sprinkle them with sesame seeds next time.
