THE BEST... SPICY SRIRACHA CHICKEN WINGS



The Best... Spicy Sriracha Chicken Wings image

Okay-so I stole this from Michael Symon, but they are so FREAKING good I had to share! The recipe appeared in Food and Wine magazine (February 2008). These are the best chicken wings I have ever had. There is a perfect amount of heat (for my taste) and the spices blend together perfectly! Please-don't be scared of the cinnamon. Never... be scared... of the cinnamon! This dish pairs well with Pippy's recipe for Mango Salad (helps with the heat from the Sriracha) http://www.recipezaar.com/24779.

Time P1DT30m

Yield 60 Wings, 7-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

10 lbs chicken wings, split
1/4 cup crushed coriander
1 teaspoon crushed cumin
1 teaspoon cinnamon
2 tablespoons kosher salt
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
3/4 cup sriracha chili sauce
12 tablespoons melted unsalted butter
1/2 cup finely chopped cilantro
3 limes, juice and zest of
vegetable oil, for frying

Steps:

  • In a very large bowl, mix the coriander and cumin seeds, cinnamon, kosher salt and olive oil. Add split chicken wings and toss to cover completely. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  • Preheat your oven to 375°F.
  • Spread them wings on a few rimmed baking sheets and roast for about 30 minutes, until the wings are firm but not cooked all the way through. (Healthier Option: At this point, if you don't want to fry the wings, you can roast them for 1 hour longer, until they're golden and crispy.) Wash out your bowl. Add the Sriracha, butter, cilantro, lime zest and juice.
  • In a deep fryer or a very large saucepan, heat the vegetable oil to 375°F.
  • Fry the wings in 4 or 5 batches until golden and crisp, about 5 minutes per batch; drain, shaking off the excess oil. If you like them crispy like we do, I say give 'em about 7 minutes. As each batch is finished, add the wings to the sauce and toss well. Transfer the wings to a platter, leaving the sauce in the bowl for the remaining batches. Recipe recommends serve hot-but I say they would be just as lovely cold!

CRISPY HONEY SRIRACHA CHICKEN WINGS



Crispy Honey Sriracha Chicken Wings image

The honey-sriracha glaze is quite delicious and incredibly simple, but merely an afterthought here. The real star of the show is the strange, but effective, technique of coating the wings with a baking powder-laced spice rub before baking. Through the magic of chemical reactions, the surface of the chicken becomes bone-dry, and eventually crisps up to something very similar to what would come out of a deep fryer.

Time 1h

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons baking powder
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
2 ½ pounds chicken wing sections
⅓ cup honey
⅓ cup sriracha sauce
1 tablespoon seasoned rice vinegar
¼ teaspoon sesame oil
1 pinch sesame seeds, or as desired

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place an oven-proof wire rack over the foil.
  • Whisk baking powder, salt, black pepper, and paprika together in a small bowl. Place chicken wings in a large bowl. Sprinkle 1/2 of the baking powder mixture over wings and toss to coat. Sprinkle remaining baking powder mixture over wings and toss to coat again. Place wings onto the rack of the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Turn wings and continue baking for 20 minutes. Turn wings again and bake until wings are browned and crispy, about 15 minutes more. Transfer wings to a large bowl.
  • Whisk honey, sriracha sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil together in a bowl until glaze is smooth. Drizzle glaze over wings and toss to coat completely. Transfer wings to a serving platter and sprinkle sesame seeds over the top.

Tips:

  • Be sure to coat the chicken wings evenly with the sauce. This will help ensure that they are evenly cooked and flavorful.
  • Bake the chicken wings at a high temperature to get a crispy skin. A temperature of 425 degrees Fahrenheit is a good starting point.
  • Serve the chicken wings with your favorite dipping sauce. Some good options include ranch dressing, blue cheese dressing, and honey mustard.
