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.

  • Marinate the chicken wings: Marinating the chicken wings in the spicy sauce for at least 30 minutes helps to infuse them with flavor. You can also marinate the chicken wings overnight for even more flavor.

  • Use a variety of toppings: You can top the Korean spicy chicken wings with a variety of toppings, such as sesame seeds, green onions, and chopped peanuts. You can also serve the chicken wings with a dipping sauce, such as a soy-based sauce or a sweet and sour sauce.
