Korean BBQ Fried Chicken Wings Steps

Mix all the chicken wings ingredients into a large mixing bowl except for the potato starch. The potato starch will be used later on.
If you do not want a double drench, then do not use the add-in all-purpose flour.
Cover the mixing bowl, and let it sit from an hour to overnight. If the mixing bowl does not come with a lid, then use saran wrap or foil.
Place potato starch in a mixing bowl. Only doing one at a time, place a chicken wing into the potato starch and cover the entire wing with the starch. Next, place the wings on a baking rack to let the wings rest.
Repeat this step until all the wings are coated with potato starch.
Add oil to the deep fryer, then preheat the oil to 350 degrees. There should be enough oil to where the wings are submerged in the deep fryer.
You do not want to overcrowd the deep fryer, so you will have to cook the wings in batches.
For each batch, cook the wings for 5 minutes. Place the wings on the baking rack when the batch is done cooking.
Once the batches are cooked, place the chicken wings in the deep fryer to cook for a second time for 5 minutes. You will do this for all the batches.

Korean BBQ Sauce Steps

Add all the Korean BBQ sauce ingredients into a saucer pan, and cook for 10 minutes at a medium temperature.
