Korean Fried Chicken has gained a lot of popularity in recent years, and for good reason. This version, marinated in a fragrant marinade of soy sauce, mirin, garlic, onion, and ginger, is baked in the oven to reduce the amount of oil used in the recipe without sacrificing on taste. The result is crispy, succulent chicken wings that are perfect for game day or any gathering. They're not only delicious but also incredibly easy to make.

Instructions

1.	Mix together the onion, garlic, soy sauce, mirin, brown sugar, and ginger in a bowl to make the marinade.
2.	Add the chicken wings and marinade to a large ziplock bag, seal, and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours.
3.	Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and spread the chicken wings out on a baking sheet.
4.	Bake for 40-45 minutes, turning once, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
