- 1 green onion, thinly sliced for garnishing (optional)
Instructions:
- Heat the nonstick pan on high heat.
- Wash, dry, and add the chicken wings in a non-stick pan without oil, moving often until they are golden brown and crisp on the sides for about 7-8 minutes.
- Add garlic, brown sugar, and beer and raise heat to high.
- When liquid starts to boil add chili powder, sesame oil, soy sauce, vinegar, black pepper, red chili pepper paste, and salt.

Critical Ingredients:
Korean Gochujang paste has a unique flavor. But if it’s not available, use any Asian red chili paste. No sesame seeds or allergic to them, leave them out! You can use maple syrup or honey instead of brown sugar, or just regular old white sugar.
