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