Cooking steps
  1. 1

    Pat dry the duck wings and use a sharp knife to score the skin lightly to help flavors penetrate.

  2. 2

    In a large bowl, combine gochugaru, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, brown sugar, salt, and black pepper to make a marinade. Add minced garlic, grated ginger, and finely chopped scallions.

  3. 3

    Toss the duck wings thoroughly in the marinade, ensuring every piece is well coated. Let marinate at least 30 minutes (preferably up to 2 hours) in the fridge.

  4. 4

    Preheat your oven to 375°F. Arrange marinated wings in a single layer on a wire rack set over a foil-lined baking sheet for even heat circulation.

  5. 5

    Roast the duck wings for 35 minutes. Afterward, increase oven temperature to 425°F and roast for an additional 15 minutes, watching closely until the skin becomes deeply browned and slightly crisp.

  6. 6

    Let wings rest for 5 minutes before serving, to allow juices to redistribute and flavor to settle.

Personalized Q&A
Q. What's the key ingredient that defines the flavor of this spicy duck wing recipe?
The key ingredient is the duck wings themselves, but the bold, fiery flavor comes from the gochugaru (Korean chili flakes) blended with soy sauce, garlic, ginger, and sesame oil. This combination delivers a spicy, aromatic punch and highlights the rich, savory nature of duck.
Q. How can I prevent the duck wings from becoming dry or overcooked?
Ensure even roasting by using a wire rack, which circulates heat and lets fat render away. Marinating for at least 30 minutes helps keep the wings moist. Monitor closely during the final high-heat roast to avoid over-browning—remove once the skin is crisp and meat is juicy.
Q. What is the protein and calorie content per serving in this recipe?
Every 160g serving contains approximately 20g of protein and 320 kcal, making these spicy duck wings a protein-rich snack that's also bold in flavor.
Q. Which cooking technique ensures the wings get crispy skin?
The final step of increasing oven temperature to 425°F for the last 15 minutes is crucial. This blast of high heat crisps the skin without drying the meat, so be sure not to skip or shorten this step.
