Steps:
- Whisk together milk and egg in a bowl until smooth. Add chicken to egg wash and marinate for 15 minutes. Drain.
- Combine potato starch, flour, salt, pepper, and ground red pepper in a bowl and transfer into a large resealable bag. Add egg-washed chicken pieces and shake until each piece is completely dredged.
- Heat oil in a large skillet to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
- Add chicken pieces into the oil in batches, about 5 to 8 pieces at a time, so as not to drop the temperature of the oil. Fry for 90 seconds. Remove to a paper-towel lined plate to drain. Fry remaining chicken pieces.
- Increase oil temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). The oil should be continuously boiling at this point. Carefully re-add the first batch of chicken and fry another 90 seconds.

BANG BANG CHICKEN WINGS
Steps:
- Combine all the marinade ingredients and add to a large Ziploc® freezer bag along with the chicken wings and marinate in the refrigerator for at least a couple of hours or preferably overnight. Remove the wings from the marinade about 30 minutes before you plan to throw them on the grill. Allow the wings to sit at room temperature and discard the marinade. Grease (I use Pam for grills) and preheat the grill to medium heat. Grill wings until done and slightly crispy. Cook them slow so the skin doesn't completely burn. Meanwhile combine the sauce ingredients in a large bowl. When the wings are done, toss them in the sauce to coat evenly. Serve immediately.
Tips:
- To ensure crispy chicken wings, pat them dry with paper towels before frying. This will help remove excess moisture and promote even cooking.
- For a flavorful marinade, combine the chicken wings with soy sauce, rice wine, garlic, ginger, and green onions. Let them marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
- When frying the chicken wings, maintain a constant oil temperature of 350°F (175°C) to achieve a golden brown, crispy exterior.
- Once the chicken wings are fried, toss them in a mixture of sweet chili sauce, honey, rice vinegar, soy sauce, and sesame oil. This will give them a delicious, sticky glaze.
- Serve the Bang Bang Chicken Wings with a side of ranch dressing or blue cheese dressing for dipping.
Conclusion:
Bang Bang Chicken Wings are a delightful appetizer or main course that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are easy to make and can be tailored to your desired level of spiciness. The combination of crispy chicken wings, sweet and savory glaze, and creamy dipping sauce makes them a truly irresistible dish.
