Provided by Food Network Kitchen

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

1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
2 scallions, thinly sliced

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.

KOREAN BBQ WINGS

Hot, sweet and sticky, these Korean chicken wings make a great choice for a dinner party starter

Provided by Good Food team

Categories     Dinner, Main course, Starter

Time 50m

Yield 6 (2 skewers each)

Number Of Ingredients 10

12 chicken wings
11⁄2 tbsp sunflower oil
1 tbsp sesame seeds , toasted
2 spring onions , finely sliced at an angle
4 tbsp rice wine vinegar
3 tbsp soy sauce
5 tbsp golden caster sugar
2.5cm/1in piece ginger , peeled and grated
1½ tbsp sriracha chilli sauce (or other hot chilli sauce)
4 tbsp tomato ketchup

Steps:

  • Soak 12 wooden skewers in water for at least 10 mins. To make the sauce, pour the vinegar and soy into a jug. Heat the sugar and 1 tbsp water in a small pan until the sugar has dissolved, then simmer until it turns a deep caramel colour. Standing well back as it will spit, pour in the vinegar and soy. Reduce the heat and let it bubble for a few mins, then add the remaining sauce ingredients, stir well and cook for 5 mins until smooth and thickened. Set aside.
  • Light the barbecue (or set your oven grill to medium). Once the coals have died down, spread out to an even layer. Cut the tips from the chicken wings, then stretch them out as straight as you can and push a skewer through the length of each wing. Brush the skin with the oil and season. Cook the wings on the barbecue or under the grill for 10 mins each side, until the chicken is cooked through and the skin is golden brown and crisp.
  • Remove the skewers to a large plate. Pour two-thirds of the sauce into a bowl, reserving the rest in the pan. Using a brush, coat each skewer well with the sauce from the bowl, then return them to the barbecue or grill and cook for a further 2-3 mins each side until the sauce has caramelised.
  • Transfer the skewers to a serving platter. Reheat the reserved sauce, adding a splash of water to loosen if needed, then drizzle over the skewers. Top with the sesame seeds and spring onions.
