Spicy Chinese Five-Spice Rubbed Chicken Wings with Creamy Cilantro Dipping Sauce image

As much as I love the classic, tangy wings, I have to say these are right up there with them. These couldn't get much easier either. All I do is rub the wings all over with a hot Chinese five spice rub and bake them in a really hot oven.

Time 45m

Yield 40 wings

Number Of Ingredients 11

40 chicken wing pieces or 20 whole chicken wings
2 tablespoons Chinese five- spice powder
3 teaspoons cayenne pepper
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Creamy Cilantro Dipping Sauce, recipe follows
1/3 cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves
1/4 cup light sour cream
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup yogurt
1/2 lemon, juiced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat your oven to 500 degrees F.
  • If you have whole chicken wings, cut off wingtips and cut the wings in half at the joint. Discard wingtips or freeze to make stock at a later time.
  • Place the wings in a large bowl. Sprinkle five-spice powder and cayenne on the wings, add a few pinches of salt and about 15 grinds of black pepper. Rub the mixture into all the wings until no more loose rub remains. Wash your hands.
  • Line the wing pieces up on a baking sheet so the side of the wing that has the most skin is facing up. Roast until cooked through, browned and crispy, about 25 minutes. Serve hot with Creamy Cilantro Dipping Sauce.
  • Combine ingredients in mixing bowl. Whisk ingredients to incorporate them fully and season with salt and pepper, to taste.

TAIWANESE POPCORN CHICKEN WITH FRIED BASIL



Taiwanese Popcorn Chicken With Fried Basil image

This spiced fried chicken is a staple in the night markets of Taiwan. You can order the chicken in cutlet form or small bites like these, which are served in paper bags with wooden skewers. This recipe uses a few spices that cannot be skipped: five-spice powder and white pepper. The Sichuan peppercorns are a bonus, adding a little numbing tingle. If you can't find Sichuan peppercorns, use black peppercorns instead. You won't get the same tingly feeling, but the chicken will be just as good. This fried chicken recipe happens to be gluten-free thanks to the tapioca flour, which imparts the dish's signature crunch.

Time 2h

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1-inch pieces
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 teaspoons granulated sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons Chinese five-spice powder
1 teaspoon ground white pepper
4 teaspoons kosher salt
6 cups vegetable oil
1 tablespoon Sichuan peppercorns or whole black peppercorns
1 cup/115 grams tapioca flour
1 cup fresh basil leaves

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, season chicken thighs with soy sauce, sugar, five-spice powder, white pepper and 2 teaspoons salt. Set aside to marinate about 1 hour at room temperature, or refrigerate it overnight.
  • When ready to cook, fit a medium pot with a cooking thermometer and heat vegetable oil over medium to 350 degrees. Coarsely grind the peppercorns in a spice grinder or mortar and pestle and mix with the remaining 2 teaspoons kosher salt. Set aside.
  • Wet your hands and toss marinated chicken with tapioca flour and about 1 tablespoon water until the tapioca flour looks like small beads and clings to the chicken. (Adding a little moisture to your chicken helps the tapioca flour form small beads that will also stick to the chicken and give it a very crunchy crust.)
  • Working in batches, add the battered chicken to the hot oil and fry until golden brown and crisp, 5 to 7 minutes. With a slotted spoon or spider, transfer fried chicken to a paper towel-lined plate and season each batch with peppercorn mixture.
  • Fry basil leaves until translucent and crisp, 1 to 2 minutes, then scatter over the fried chicken. Serve with leftover peppercorn mixture for sprinkling to taste.

From Donna Hay's "Flavours". May substitute with pork fillets too. And i've tried it with panko (japanese breadcrumbs) with better, crispier results.

Tips:

  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken is cooked through to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  • If you don't have five-spice powder, you can make your own by combining equal parts ground cinnamon, star anise, fennel seeds, cloves, and Sichuan peppercorns.
  • For a crispier coating, double-coat the chicken in the cornstarch mixture.
  • Be careful not to overcrowd the chicken in the pan when frying. This will prevent it from cooking evenly.
  • Serve the chicken immediately with your favorite dipping sauce, such as sweet and sour sauce, hoisin sauce, or plum sauce.

Conclusion:

This crispy five-spice chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal or a party appetizer. The chicken is coated in a flavorful five-spice mixture and then fried until crispy. Serve it with your favorite dipping sauce and enjoy!
