Sweet and spicy wings! You can make two batches of the sauce, use one as a marinade before grilling the chicken, and pour the second batch over the chicken after it is grilled. It is not mandatory to do it this way, just better!

These are the ultimate wings when you're willing to go the extra mile. First, they're dry brined to season them from the inside out and keep them juicy.

Lastly, they're deep fried for crunch and tossed in a sweet and spicy sauce for that perfect glazed finish. Enjoy!

Categories     Appetizers

Time 8h40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 21

½ cup kosher salt
¼ cup sugar
1 tablespoon gochugaru, (Korean chile flakes)
2 lb chicken wings
1 ginger, peeled and sliced - 3 in (7 cm)
8 cloves garlic, peeled
4 scallions, cut into 2 in (5 cm)
3 cups olive oil, plus more as needed
¼ cup rice vinegar
¼ cup soy sauce
½ cup honey
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons fresh ginger, grated
¼ cup gochujang, (Korean chile paste)
2 cups cornstarch, divided
1 cup all purpose flour
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 ¾ cups water
toasted sesame seed
fresh cilantro leaf
scallion, sliced

Steps:

  • Dry brine the wings: Set a wire rack inside a rimmed baking sheet.
  • In a small bowl, combine the salt, sugar, and gochugaru.
  • Add the wings to a large bowl and sprinkle with the dry brine, tossing to coat evenly. Arrange the wings right side up on the wire rack and refrigerate, uncovered, for at least 4 hours, or overnight.
  • Confit the wings: Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C).
  • Transfer the brined wings to an 8 x 11-inch baking dish. Scatter the ginger, garlic, and scallions around the wings. Pour the olive oil into the baking dish, adding more oil if needed to ensure the wings are fully submerged.
  • Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and place on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake for 2½-3 hours, until the meat starts to pull away from the bones, but is still intact and tender.
  • Line a baking sheet with foil. Remove the wings from the oven and let cool slightly. Lift out of the oil and drain well, then set on the prepared baking sheet. Transfer to the refrigerator and chill for at least 1 hour. If desired, reserve the leftover oil to confit more wings. The oil will keep in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 month.
  • Meanwhile, make the sauce: In a medium pan over medium heat, combine the rice vinegar, soy sauce, honey, garlic, ginger, and gochujang. Cook, stirring often, until the sauce is bubbling and thickened, 3-4 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and set aside.
  • Fry the wings: Heat the canola oil in a large Dutch oven over high heat until it reaches 350°F (180°C).
  • Make the batter: Add 1 cup of cornstarch to a large bowl and set aside. Add the remaining cup of cornstarch to a separate large bowl, along with the flour, salt, and water and whisk until smooth with no lumps.
  • Coat a chicken wing in the cornstarch, shaking off excess, then gently dredge the wing in the batter, letting any excess drip off.
  • Working in 2 batches, add the wings to the hot oil and fry for 4-5 minutes, until golden brown and crispy. Transfer to a paper towel-lined baking sheet to drain.
  • Transfer the wings to a large bowl and pour the sauce over. Toss to coat well.
  • Transfer the wings to a serving platter and pour more sauce over, then garnish with toasted sesame seeds, cilantro, and scallions.
  • Enjoy!

SWEET AND SPICY CHICKEN WINGS



Sweet and Spicy Chicken Wings image

I love wings! I have had many a mediocre wing, some decent wings, some really good wings and a few outstanding wings. I am proud to say that my favorite wing is the one I learned to make myself. After years of trying different techniques (baked, fried, boiled first (blech), various sauces, etc) I have come up with what I think is wing perfection. I have discovered that the best wing is deep fried, but first must be coated and left to "rest" before frying. Once fried, these wings are crisp, juicy and delicious as is. My favorite wing however is sauced with a hot and sweet concoction which is super easy to put together and is, I must say, a blend of two commercial sauces with a bit of butter melted in. I hope you enjoy these as much as I do!

2 lbs chicken wings

1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon salt

1/4 cup Frank's red hot sauce (more or less, depending on how hot you like it)

Place coated wings into a large bowl or dish and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 1 1/2 - 2 hours (this is the secret step!).
  • Heat oil in fryer to 375 degrees. While the oil is heating, mix the sauces together in a small saucepan, add the butter and heat until the butter is melted. Stir well.
  • Fry wings for 8-10 minutes (depending on the size of your wings) or until they begin to brown. Lift fryer basket and shake off excess oil. Pierce one of the larger wings down to the bone and take a peek to make sure it is cooked; if not, pop the whole works back into the fryer for another minute. Lift basket and shake off oil once more. Dump wings into a large bowl and toss with the sauce, then turn out onto a serving platter. Enjoy!

SWEET AND SPICY CHICKEN WINGS

My boys love chicken wings so I'm always challenged to find new ways of making them. I took my original recipe and made it spicier. These don't last long.... and are always requested by friends and family gatherings. The wings are cooked low and slow and the sauce gives them a kicked up flavor. If you like chicken that falls off the bones, give this one a try.... they won't dissappoint. ;)

Fried sweet and spicy chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish. Here are some tips and the conclusion for making it:

Fried chicken takes time to cook, so be patient and don't try to speed up the process. If you cook the chicken too quickly, it will not be fully done and could be unsafe to eat.

  • Use a good quality frying oil. Vegetable oil or canola oil are both good options.
  • Make sure the chicken is completely thawed before you start cooking it. This will help the chicken cook evenly.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the chicken is fully done. The chicken should be at least 165°F when it is done.
  • Serve the chicken with your favorite sides. Mashed or roasted sweet potatotes, french fries, coleslaw, or a mixed greens with pieces of avocado, bacon, hard boiled egg and cherry tomatoes are all great options.
  • Enjoy!
  • Conclusion

    Fried sweet and spicy chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The combination of sweet and spicy flavors is sure to please everyone. Be sure to serve the chicken with your favorite sides to make a complete meal.
