Chuncheon Wings: a Korean Alternative to Buffalo Wings

Felina's Note:

I saw a gal make these on YouTube. She had spent some time in Korea. These are apparently spicy like Buffalo wings, but with an Asian flare. I haven't tried these yet, but they look good. I'll have to visit my local Asian market to find Gochujan - A Korean red pepper paste to make the Dakkalbi sauce.
