Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 50m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 14

Vegetable oil, for frying
1/2 cup honey
1/2 cup sriracha
1/4 cup soy sauce
1 tablespoon lime juice
1 tablespoon orange juice
1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
1 cup cornstarch
1 cup all-purpose flour
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 pounds split chicken wings, tips removed
1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
2 scallions, thinly sliced
Lemon wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • Set a wire rack on a rimmed baking sheet and set aside. Attach a deep fry thermometer to the side of a large Dutch oven or pot and fill halfway with oil, heat over medium-high heat to 350 degrees F.
  • Meanwhile, combine the honey, sriracha, soy sauce, lime juice, orange juice and sesame oil in a small saucepan over medium heat and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer until the sauce is reduced and smooth, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl and set aside.
  • Whisk the cornstarch, flour, 1 3/4 cups cold water, 2 teaspoons salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper together in a large bowl until smooth.
  • Working in small batches, dip the chicken in the cornstarch-flour batter, let the excess drip back into the bowl and gently place in the hot oil; stir once or twice to keep the pieces separated. Fry until golden and cooked through, adjusting the heat to keep the oil temperature at 350 degrees F, about 8 or 9 minutes per batch. Remove the chicken with a slotted spoon and put on the prepared rack to drain briefly. While the wings are still hot, toss them in the sriracha-honey sauce until coated. Transfer them to a serving dish and top with the sesame seeds and scallions and serve with lemon wedges.

KOREAN FRIED CHICKEN WINGS



Korean Fried Chicken Wings image

Serve these sticky garlic-and-ginger wings with crunchy radish kimchi to cut the richness.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Appetizers     Finger Food Recipes

Time 1h25m

Yield Serves 6 to 8

Number Of Ingredients 11

Corn or other vegetable oil, for frying
1/4 cup cornstarch
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
3 pounds whole chicken wings, room temperature, patted dry
1/2 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons Sriracha
2 tablespoons minced garlic
2 tablespoons minced ginger
1/4 cup packed light-brown sugar
1/4 cup apple-cider vinegar
Toasted sesame seeds and radish kimchi, for serving

Steps:

  • Pour 2 inches oil into a large, heavy-bottomed pot (to ensure safe frying, pot should not be more than one-third full). Heat over medium-high until a deep-fry thermometer reads 320 degrees. Reduce heat to medium to maintain temperature. Meanwhile, combine cornstarch, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a large resealable plastic or brown paper bag. Add wings, seal or fold bag closed, and shake vigorously to evenly coat.
  • With a Japanese spider or slotted spoon, add one-third of wings to oil, stirring a few times, until cooked through and oil returns to 320 degrees, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack set on a rimmed baking sheet. Fry remaining wings in two batches. Let cool completely, 15 minutes. Meanwhile, combine soy sauce, Sriracha, garlic, ginger, sugar, vinegar, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, stirring until sugar dissolves; cook until reduced to 3/4 cup, 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Increase heat to medium-high and bring oil in pot to 380 degrees. Return one-third of wings to oil, stirring occasionally, 5 to 7 minutes. Return to rack-lined baking sheet; let excess oil drain to prevent sogginess, 30 seconds. In a large bowl, toss with one-third of soy-sauce mixture; sprinkle with sesame seeds and serve immediately with kimchi. Fry remaining wings in two batches, returning oil to 380 degrees in between. To serve all batches at once, keep wings warm on rack in a 225-degree oven, and toss in sauce all together at end.

KOREAN GOCHUJANG CHICKEN WINGS



Korean Gochujang Chicken Wings image

This makes a great appetizer for your game day snack table or for those summertime barbecues in the backyard. Rendering the fat (cooking out fat) creates a crispy skin, so the wings aren't "chewy". The Gochujang sauce gives the wings a distinct Korean touch, and the ginger and garlic adds a bit of pizzazz to the sauce. FOR OVEN...

Provided by Vickie Parks

Categories     Poultry Appetizers

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 lb chicken wings
1/4 cup vegetable oil (approximate amount)
2 to 3 tsp black pepper
2 to 3 tsp salt
2 tsp garlic powder (optional)
1/4 cup gochujang sauce (korean chile paste) or sriracha hot sauce
1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
3 Tbsp honey
2 Tbsp rice vinegar
1 Tbsp sesame oil
2 Tbsp minced garlic
1 Tbsp minced ginger

Steps:

  • 1. Heat grill, and place grill grate 4 to 6 inches from heat. Leave one side of the grill cooler, for indirect cooking.
  • 2. Thoroughly toss the wings with the oil, then season with salt and pepper (and garlic powder, if using). Place wings on cool side of the grill, cover, and let wings grill for 15 to 20 minutes, turning once or twice. Wings should be cooked through and most of the fat rendered.
  • 3. While wings are grilling, combine soy sauce, gochujang (or sriracha), rice vinegar, honey, sesame oil, garlic and ginger in a large bowl. Add the cooked wings to the bowl, and toss well to thoroughly coat each wing with the sauce.
  • 4. Place coated wings on grill grate, directly over the heat and cook, uncovered, for another 5 to 10 minutes or until browned on both sides, turning as necessary to ensure evening browning.

KOREAN CHICKEN WINGS



Korean Chicken Wings image

This wing sauce is scrumptious... so much so, in fact, that we decided to soak our second batch of wings directly in the sauce while they were still hot. It made them a lot messier, but oh-so-good!

Provided by Cynthia Sigler

Categories     Other Snacks

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 pkg chicken wings
1 c all purpose flour
1/2 c soy sauce, low sodium
6 tsp sugar
2 clove garlic
1/4 tsp ginger powder
1 bunch scallions

Steps:

  • 1. Mix together soy sauce, sugar, ginger, garlic, and scallions. Stir until sugar is dissolved.
  • 2. Heat oil for frying, toss chicken wings in flour.
  • 3. Fry until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from oil and dip directly into sauce. Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Use a combination of soy sauce, gochujang, and garlic: This is the holy trinity of Korean flavors, and it will give your chicken wings an irresistible sweet, savory, and spicy flavor.
  • Don't be afraid to adjust the heat level: If you like your chicken wings extra spicy, add more gochujang. If you prefer a milder flavor, use less gochujang and add a bit of honey or brown sugar.
  • Marinate the chicken wings for at least 30 minutes: This will allow the flavors to penetrate the chicken and make them extra juicy.
  • Bake the chicken wings at a high temperature: This will help to crisp up the skin and caramelize the sauce.
  • Serve the chicken wings with a variety of dipping sauces: Some popular choices include ranch dressing, blue cheese dressing, and honey mustard.

Conclusion:

Korean chicken wings are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. They are perfect for parties, potlucks, or a simple weeknight meal. With their sweet, savory, and spicy flavor, they are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
