Ingredients for Asian Chicken Wings

  • 2 lbs chicken wings, separated into drumettes and flats (discard tips)
  • All Purpose Flour
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 3 cups vegetable oil, for frying
  • Creamy Peanut Butter
  • Water
  • Louisiana Hot Sauce
  • Brown Sugar
  • Lemon Juice
  • Soy Sauce
  • Ground Ginger

How to Make Asian Chicken Wings

  1. Preheat your oven to 200°F (93°C) to keep the cooked wings warm.
  2. Pat chicken wings dry with paper towels.
  3. In a large resealable plastic bag, combine the flour, salt, paprika, and pepper.
  4. Add the wings to the bag a few at a time, shaking to coat evenly.
  5. Heat the oil in an electric skillet or deep fryer to 375°F (190°C).
  6. Fry the wings in batches for 6-8 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through, turning once halfway through.
  7. Remove wings from the fryer and place on a wire rack set over a baking sheet to drain excess oil.
  8. Transfer the fried wings to a large bowl and place in the preheated oven to keep warm.
  9. In a small saucepan, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, and red pepper flakes (if using).
  10. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, for 1-2 minutes, or until the sauce is smooth and slightly thickened.
  11. Pour the sauce over the warm chicken wings in the bowl and toss gently to coat.
  12. Serve the Asian Chicken Wings immediately. Enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
