Korean Style Chicken Wings

[chisoxjim]

Not done in the smoker(looks like this section has some deep fried, and roasted posts), but deep fried, twice.

Figured some might enjoy these wings, I sure did, crunchy, sweet, and hot. The secret was the batter, and deep frying them twice, once @ 350, and then a second run @ 375.

Marinated the wings in:
- milk(1 cup),
grated onion(1),
soy sauce(1 tbsp),
garlic(4 cloves),
ginger(2 tbsp),
black pepper(1/2 tsp)

Before marinating, I made 2-3 slices in each wing piece to help the marinade penetrate

The batter is:
flour(1/2 cup),
corn starch(2/3 cup),
baking powder(1/5 tsp),
salt(1/4 tsp.),
black pepper(1/2 tsp.),
sugar1.5 tsp),
ice water(1 cup)

the sauce is:
toasted sesame seeds(1/2 cup),
Shark Sriracha(6 tbsp),
Rooster Sriracha(6 tbsp),
El Yucateco Habanero(1 tbsp),
3 whole serrano peppers,
ketchup(12 tbsp),
garlic(5 cloves),
ginger (1 tsp),
soy sauce(1 tsp),
sugar(1/2 cup),
lemon juice(5 tbsp).

SUch an easy sauce to make, cant see buying any asian style sauce loaded with salt, and hfcs, etc.

fried @ 350 for 6 mins, and then @ 375 for 4 mins in batches

Nice work Jim. You make me wish I could eat spicy food!

 

[chisoxjim]

Jim, nice looking wings. Around here we can get the Rooster Sriracha (I keep a bottle at home and at work

) but I've never seen the Shark Sriracha.

The sauce I use for my wings is:

1 cup brown sugar (I use the dark)
1/3 cup Franks Red Hot sauce
1/3 cup Cholula Hot sauce
1/3 cup Sriracha (Rooster) Hot sauce.

Combine all ingredients in a small sauce pan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Pour sauce over wing and stir to coat well.
Eat and enjoy!!

thanks dutch,

I can get shark @ some of the asian markets, I like it a little better than Rooster, but both are good.

Nice lookin wing sauce recipe you have there, I like your use of the different hot sauces, different layers of heat, and flavor.

Great looking wings, I'm debating whether or not to show this to my BIL, once I do I know he will want them so I guess that would work out in my favor anyway.
