Categories     appetizer

Time 45m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 cups (720 milliliters) Thai sweet chile sauce
3/4 cup (120 milliliters) sriracha, or more if you prefer it spicier
12 whole chicken wings, cut in half at the joint, with tips discarded or saved for stock
2 cups (450 grams) tempura flour
2 1/2 quarts (2.8 liters) vegetable oil, for frying
2 cups (450 grams) cornstarch

Steps:

  • Stir the sweet chile sauce and sriracha together in a large bowl. You will be frying the wings and rolling them in this sauce while they're hot.
  • Rinse the chicken wings in cold water, drain briefly and place in a shallow baking dish while still damp. Sprinkle the wings evenly with the tempura flour and massage until a thin batter forms.
  • Heat the oil in a large 6-quart Dutch oven or heavy-bottom pot over high heat. Using a deep-fry thermometer, bring the temperature of the oil to 365 degrees F.
  • Pour the cornstarch into a second large bowl. Dredge the chicken wings through the cornstarch, shake to remove any excess. Working in 3 batches, fry the wings until cooked through and golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes, turning them occasionally. The internal temperature of the chicken should be 165 degrees F.
  • Drain the wings on paper towels briefly, then roll them in the prepared sauce. Serve hot.

SWEET AND SPICY CHICKEN WINGS



Sweet and Spicy Chicken Wings image

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. ;)

Foil-Pack Grilled Sweet-and-Spicy Chicken Wings image

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 2h35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/4 cup chili powder
1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
1 teaspoon chipotle chili powder
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 pounds air-chilled chicken wings (about 24), split at the joint, wingtips removed and discarded
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
1 lime, cut into wedges

Steps:

  • Whisk together the chili powder, sugar, chipotle powder, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a medium bowl to make a dry spice rub. Place the wings in a large bowl, toss with the oil, and sprinkle with the dry spice rub. Toss the wings to evenly coat, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour and up to 2 hours.
  • Prepare a grill for high heat.
  • Tear off four 18-by-18-inch sheets of heavy duty non-stick aluminum foil. Remove the wings from the bowl, making sure to leave any excess liquid behind. Divide the wings among the foil pieces, centering them on each piece in a single layer. Sprinkle the wings with a generous pinch of salt and pepper. Bring two opposite ends of the foil together and fold twice to seal, then fold in the other sides to create leak-proof packets. Grill over high heat, turning once, until the wings are cooked through, about 25 minutes. Carefully open the packets (hot steam will escape). Scatter the cilantro over the tops and serve with the lime wedges.
