Ingredients:
For the Chicken:
- 2 lbs chicken wings or drumettes
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 2 cups cornstarch
- Salt and pepper to taste

For the Spicy Sauce:
- 1/2 cup gochujang (Korean red pepper paste)
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon ginger, grated
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil

Instructions:
- Marinate the Chicken:
- Place the chicken wings or drumettes in a bowl, season with salt and pepper, and pour the buttermilk over them. Let them marinate for at least 1 hour or overnight for maximum flavor.
- Prepare the Coating:
- In a separate bowl, toss the marinated chicken in cornstarch until well coated. Shake off excess cornstarch.
- Fry the Chicken:
- Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or a large, deep skillet to 350°F (175°C). Fry the coated chicken in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 10-12 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
- Make the Spicy Sauce:
- In a saucepan over medium heat, combine gochujang, soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, and sesame oil. Stir until the sugar is dissolved and the sauce is well combined. Bring it to a simmer, then remove from heat.
- Coat the Chicken in Spicy Sauce:
- Toss the fried chicken in the spicy sauce until evenly coated. For an extra layer of flavor, you can brush or drizzle some sauce over the chicken.
