Hope you had a fun and delicious Thanksgiving!  Stuffed yet?  I’m in Houston spending time with my sister and brother whom I haven’t seen in about 3 months.  That’s a really long time for us.  I will have a recap of our time together soon.  For right now, I want to share a simple recipe you can whip up in no time.  The key ingredient is Korean chili flakes.

Spicy Korean Baked Chicken Wings

Spicy Korean Baked Chicken Wings
 
Ingredients
  • 2 Ibs chicken wings, tips removed, drumettes and flats separated
  • 1 Tbs canola oil
  • ⅓ cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • ½ cup honey
  • 1 Tbs Korean chili flakes
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp sesame seeds
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 400F. Place a wire rack inside a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil.
  2. Rinse chicken and pat dry. Transfer to a bowl and toss with canola oil. Spread out chicken in a single layer on baking rack. Bake until cooked through and skin is crispy, 40-45 minutes.
  3. In the meanwhile, whisk together soy sauce, honey, chili flakes, and garlic powder in a small saucepan over medium-low heat and simmer until slightly thickened, approximately 10-15 minutes.
  4. In a mixing bowl, toss chicken with sauce until well coated. Place under broiler until glaze is glossy and lightly caramelized, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top and enjoy!

Spicy, sweet, and finger-licking good!!  Now I gotta warn ya – if you’ve never had these Korean chili flakes before, they’ve been known to induce a little sweating.  However, paired with honey, they cause nothing more than a little tingle of deliciousness in the mouth.  And as easy as this recipe came together, I wish I had known about Season with Spice’s Spicy Korean Chili Seasoning – a blend of Korean chili flakes, toasted sesame seeds, black sesame seeds, Sichuan pepper, and red chili flakes…everything in this recipe and then some!

The Hungryman and I have been so fortunate to meet some amazing people as a result of our little blog, and for that, we’re truly thankful :).  One of those special interactions was with Reese and Mark from the boutique spice shop, Season with Spice.  When they introduced us to the incredible array of spices on their site, we just knew we had to share.  Oh…and how about a giveaway?

Without further ado, let’s give a warm welcome to Reese and Mark!

Season with Spice giveaway on MJ & The Hungryman

The incongruous match of a dietitian to be and a hungryman intrigued us when we first stumbled upon their blog a few months ago.  And when we delved further into MJ and Tim’s adventures, we learned that a heart condition doesn’t limit love, it strengthens it. 

The role that cooking & health play in their lives together always has us returning to follow their story.  Because like many of you, we relate closely to where their journey began, and the adventures they continue to share from their home in Austin.

When we first contacted MJ & Tim to introduce ourselves and Season with Spice – our boutique spice shop specializing in Asian spices and handcrafted blends – we already knew from their blog that they also felt a strong connection between healthy eating and spices.  But when they replied, clearly stating “less salt, more spice”, we knew immediately we found two new friends.

So on this Small Business Saturday weekend, we are teaming up with The Adventures of MJ and Hungryman to give away some premium spices and blends to encourage healthy eating, more flavor, and to remind everyone to help support your small, local businesses during the holiday season.  Because as MJ & Tim shared with us, “Living in Austin, we recognize how much small businesses add to the vibrancy and culture of a city.”

Details of the Giveaway

One winner will be selected to receive a set of Season with Spice’s premium Asian spices and handcrafted blends.  The set includes jars of Japanese Seven Spice (Shichimi Togarashi), Sichuan Pepper Sea Salt, Spicy Korean Chili Seasoning, Korean Chili Threads (Shilgochu 실고추), Shiitake Mushroom Powder, and Penang-style Chinese Five Spice.

 To enter, just leave a comment below telling us what’s your favorite go-to healthy dish for cooking up at home.  [Bonus entry details below*]

Who can enter?  Anyone!  But the prize can only be mailed to a US address.

Enter by 11:59pm EST on Sunday, December 8th.  One winner will be randomly selected (via Random.org), announced on this post, and notified by December 9th.  Good luck!

    Glad to hear that you had a great Thanksgiving with your family, Min! My husband would love these spicy korean baked chicken wings. He loves spicy chicken wings. Thanks for the giveaway! I love making a hearty three bean chili when I want something healthy and warm on a cold winter day.

  2. Chu Yi says

    Hooray small business Saturday! I love making Udon at home for cold wintery nights here in Chicago. Super simple seasoning with soy sauce, garlic and a bit of dasida warms the heart right up!

  3. Kristen says

    Our go to healthy meal is a salad with arugula, whatever fruit is in season (persimmons now!) and cottage cheese. Add in some nuts and you have a tasty salad with tons of protein and flavor!

  9. Yoonie says

    My favorite healthy food to make at home is custom hand rolls! load it up with rice, crisp veggies and fresh sashimi and you are in heaven! Oh and don’t forget miso soup to go with it!
    MJ, Tim and Kones buddy I miss you guys already!! hope to see you soon~~

  10. Kay says

    My favorite healthy meal to make at home is roasted, sliced golden beets with a dollop of fat free plain greek yogurt, grilled wild steelhead trout and herbed farro.

  20. Hector says

    I love sautéing mushrooms with onions and having these over tortillas with queso fresco and salsa. Thank you for the giveaway!

  36. Emily says

    A vegetarian “curry melange” (i.e. take all the vegetables we have in our fridge, toss in some chickpeas, and stir fry it all up with some curry spices). It’s different but delicious every time!

  40. EA-The Spicy RD says

    These wings look amazing!! I think you know I am a spice fan, and use ’em pretty much every day, but one of my favorite healthy foods is coffee 🙂 My hubby knows I am much nicer in the morning when I have my coffee, so he gets it ready for me the evening before, and adds ground cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice to the coffee grounds. Yum!!!

  42. Debbi Esvelt says

    I love whatever I can bring in fresh from my veg patch. Right now in NE Washington that’s kale and carrots. I’d love some spicy chicken with my veg too though!

  43. Debbi Esvelt says

    I’m a new follower and very happy to find healthy recipes by an actual dietician. I’m also excited about learning to use new spices–thank you min.

  46. Taliah Sotomayor says

    I love making spicy grilled mushroom and onions, it’s a great compliment to every meal.

    • Carolsue says

      I should have commented first. At home, I often make Thai Stir-Fried Asparagus with Lemongrass

  54. Juliana B. says

    Favorite go-to healthy dish would have to be baked tilapia with couscous and creamed spinach on the side. Yummy!

  55. Emily D says

    Our favorite go-to healthy dish is grilled chicken with peppers and onions and green beans on the side. 🙂

  62. Shannno says

    Wow, what a beautiful giveaway! We like to make baked enchiladas when we need a healthy{ish} quick fix.

  64. Kymberly Pray says

    I am not the creative eater in the family, but am a very conscience one. I have a salad with most dinners, and have been vegetarian for 32 years (I would go full-bore vegan but lack the discipline and from time to time real ice cream and other goodies call to me).
    My sons, now they are the cooks of the bunch and if I won, my biggest problem would be who to gift the spices to.

  76. Jacki says

    My favorite go-to healthy recipe is a frittata – it’s a great way to use up my leftover veggies and cheese!

  77. debbie says

    My favorite is a salad of dark greens with pomegranate arils, salmon, citrus, black beans, and other yummy things.

  88. Rhonda A says

    My favorite go to meal at home that my family loves and we don’t eat often enough is baked chicken with lemon butter sauce with capers and fresh sauteed mushrooms and brown rice pilaf… yummy!

  91. Holly S. says

    My go-to healthy dish is actually a grilled chicken salad because it’s so versatile; depending on how you season the chicken and what veggies you add and dressing you use, it can taste totally different from day to day. And it’s quick. Win!

  105. Gale says

    Wow…some spices that actually aren’t on our spice rack. Intriguing!

    My favorite healthy dish is one that my husband learned from his roommate from Hong Kong. It has beef, celery, peppers, and a spicey soy sauce topping. We call it Ben’s Beef (his American name was Ben). It tastes almost like he made it, but there’s some ingredients we couldn’t figure out. Who knows…maybe one of these would do the trick.

  110. Kelly says

    My favorite healthy dish lately is a big bowl of quinoa with nuts, spices, and whatever veg I have around.

  116. Karen Gonyea says

    Vegetable Lasagna – everyone loves it and it takes care of the meat lovers and vegetarians alike 🙂

  118. Annette says

    My go-to healthy dish is Tuscan Vegetable Soup. Anytime I need a jump start (to eating better), I cook a huge pot of this. In addition to tons of veggies, it has beans – plus I add parmesan and avocado to each bowl. So yummy and filling.
