Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 13

⅓ cup milk
1 egg
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
¼ cup potato starch
¼ cup all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon shichimi togarashi (Japanese red pepper condiment)
oil for frying
¼ cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons sweet chili sauce
1 teaspoon gochujang (Korean hot pepper paste)

Steps:

  • Whisk together milk and egg in a bowl until smooth. Add chicken to egg wash and marinate for 15 minutes. Drain.

  • Heat oil in a large skillet to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
  • Add chicken pieces into the oil in batches, about 5 to 8 pieces at a time, so as not to drop the temperature of the oil. Fry for 90 seconds. Remove to a paper-towel lined plate to drain. Fry remaining chicken pieces.

Remove to a paper-towel lined plate to drain. Fry and drain the remaining chicken. Transfer chicken to a medium bowl.
  • Stir mayonnaise, honey, sweet chili sauce, and gochujang together in a small bowl. Toss fried chicken with sauce to coat.

BANG BANG CHICKEN WINGS



BANG BANG CHICKEN WINGS image

Categories     Chicken

Yield 2-4 people

Number Of Ingredients 12

■2 - 3 lbs chicken wings or drumettes
For the marinade
■3/4 cup ponzu sauce
■1/4 cup soy sauce
■juice of 1 lime
■1 teaspoon ground ginger
■1 teaspoon sriracha
For the wing sauce
■1/2 cup mayonnaise
■1/2 cup sweet Thai chili sauce
■juice of 1/2 lemon
■2 tablespoons sriracha sauce

Steps:

  • Combine all the marinade ingredients and add to a large Ziploc® freezer bag along with the chicken wings and marinate in the refrigerator for at least a couple of hours or preferably overnight. Remove the wings from the marinade about 30 minutes before you plan to throw them on the grill. Allow the wings to sit at room temperature and discard the marinade. Grease (I use Pam for grills) and preheat the grill to medium heat. Grill wings until done and slightly crispy. Cook them slow so the skin doesn't completely burn. Meanwhile combine the sauce ingredients in a large bowl. When the wings are done, toss them in the sauce to coat evenly. Serve immediately.
