Wondering where to get Gochujang and Gochugaru? Most Asian supermarkets have them. They are not that hard to find, no worries! 🙂

Gochujang is a sweet and spicy sauce made with barley, soybeans, red chilis, and other seasonings/ingredients. Like what we said earlier, it is not really that hot. And besides, you can always control how much you add to the sauce of your chicken wings. It all depends on how much you can tolerate! 🙂

This secret ingredient can also be substituted with a mixture of ketchup, chili powder, soy sauce, and sugar (1 tablespoon each). You also need to add about 1/2 teaspoon of dried red chili flakes and mix well. Allow the mixture to sit in the fridge for a few hours in the fridge.
