Chicken wings with gochujang, lime and herb butter recipe

Chicken wings with gochujang, lime and herb butter recipe

There are several ways to cook these chicken wings: either roast them in the oven or on a barbecue, or I like to deep-fry them. You then roll them in the melted butter and just finish them off either on the barbecue or in the oven. Gochujang is a revelation: the sweet, spicy and savoury Korean paste is made from fermented chillies, but there are so many different layers of flavour in it and it marries perfectly with the chicken.
