- Step 9: Serve the wings on a plate with a generous portion of the fried rice in the center. Garnish with toasted white sesame seeds and enjoy!
Tips & Variations
- Use day-old rice for the best fried rice texture, as fresh rice tends to be too moist and sticky.
- Substitute the Hot & Spicy Bachan’s sauce with your favorite chili garlic sauce for a different flavor profile.
- For extra crispiness, finish the wings under a broiler for 1-2 minutes after griddling.
- Add diced bell peppers or mushrooms to the vegetable mix for more variety.
Storage
Store leftover wings and fried rice separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm the wings in an oven or air fryer to maintain crispness and microwave the rice until heated through. Avoid reheating wings in the microwave alone, as they may become soggy.
How to Serve
Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.
FAQs
Can I use a skillet instead of a griddle?
Yes, a large skillet or frying pan works well for cooking the wings and fried rice if you don’t have a griddle. Just cook in batches if your pan isn’t large enough to fit everything comfortably.
What is SPG seasoning?
SPG stands for salt, pepper, and garlic powder, a simple seasoning blend commonly used to add balanced flavor to meats and vegetables.

Instructions

- Season the wings: Place the wings in a bowl, drizzle with avocado oil, and toss to coat. Sprinkle with SPG seasoning and Korean BBQ rub, ensuring even coverage.
- Cook the wings: Arrange the wings flat on the hot griddle. Cook, flipping every 3 minutes, until the internal temperature reaches 185°F, ensuring crispy and fully cooked wings.

Notes
- Using day-old rice helps prevent clumping and creates better-textured fried rice.
- Ensure the griddle is properly preheated for even cooking and to get crispy skin on the wings.
- Monitor internal temperature of wings carefully to avoid under or overcooking; 185°F ensures tender, fully cooked meat.
- The Hot & Spicy Bachan’s sauce adds authentic Korean flavor – adjust quantity to your spice preference.
- Feel free to substitute avocado oil with another high smoke point oil if needed (e.g., canola or vegetable oil).
