GUEST CONTRIBUTOR

Steps:

• 1 Fill a large pot halfway with oil and preheat to 300°F. 2 Set a rack over a baking sheet. 3 In a large bowl whisk together the cornstarch, flour and water until mixture is the texture of crepe batter, adding more water by the tablespoonful if necessary. 4 In batches, dip the wings into the batter, then let the excess drip off before adding to oil. 5 Fry until very pale and golden, 8 minutes. 6 Transfer the fried wings to rack to cool and repeat with the remaining wings. 7 Raise the oil temperature to 350°F. 8 Fry the wings a second time until golden brown, an additional 4-5 minutes. 9 Move back to rack to drain and cool slightly.
• 1 In a large bowl whisk together the hoisin sauce, soy sauce, sambal oelek (chili sauce), vinegar, sesame oil and garlic. 2 Toss the wings in the sauce and transfer to a serving platter. 3 Garnish with sesame seeds.

CHICKEN LOLLIPOPS

Steps:

• In a Dutch oven or other large heavy pot, heat 4 inches oil to 375 degrees F over medium-high heat.
• Using kitchen shears or a knife, separate the wings at the joint. Reserve the drumette, saving the wing for homemade chicken stock, if desired. Stand a drumette on its wide end and, holding the narrow bone at the top, use a paring knife to push and scrape the skin and meat downward to expose the bone and make a plump "lollipop" of chicken at the bottom. Repeat with the remaining drumettes.
• Place the honey and chopped chipotles in a bowl and whisk together.
• Fry the "lollipops" in batches until crispy and golden brown, about 6 minutes, allowing the oil to come back up to temperature in between batches. Drain on a paper towel.
• Place the fried "lollipops" on a platter, bone up, and drizzle the honey-chipotle sauce over the top. Sprinkle with sea salt and serve with lime wedges.

SPICY ASIAN CHICKEN

Steps:

• Cook the rice according to the package directions.
• In a large bowl, beat the egg. Place the cornstarch in another large bowl.
• Add the chicken to the egg and toss to coat. A few pieces at a time, lift the chicken out of the egg and coat in the cornstarch, tapping off the excess. Transfer to a plate.
• Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. In 2 batches, cook the chicken, turning occasionally, until golden (3 to 5 minutes). Transfer to a plate.
• Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil in the skillet over medium heat.
• Add the Brussels sprouts, ginger, and garlic and cook, tossing occasionally, until beginning to soften (2 to 3 minutes).
• Add the soy sauce, vinegar, sugar and water and cook, stirring occasionally, until the Brussels sprouts are crisp-tender and the liquid begins to thicken (2 to 3 minutes).
• Return the chicken to the skillet, along with the chili, and cook, tossing, until heated through (about 2 minutes). Add the sesame oil and scallions.
• Serve over the rice and sprinkle with the peanuts.
