Oriental Hot Wings Recipes

TAILGATING ASIAN WINGS

Steps:

• For the wings at home:
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Season the wings with salt and pepper. Arrange the chicken wings on a baking sheet in a single layer. Put in the preheated oven and cook for 45 minutes.
• Remove the wings from the oven to a bowl and allow to cool. Cover and refrigerate until ready to finish at the event on the barbecue.
• For the Asian sauce at home:
• Combine all of the ingredients in a resealable gallon-size plastic bag and combine well.
• For the wings tailgaiting:
• Preheat a grill to 350 degrees F, prepared for indirect heat. Add all the wings and cook for 10 to 15 minutes to reheat and get some grill marks, turning after 7 minutes. Remove the wings from the grill to a serving bowl. Add the sauce and toss to combine.

KOREAN HOT WINGS

Steps:

• Stir soy sauce, brown sugar, ketchup, barbeque sauce, garlic, vinegar, chile-garlic sauce, pepper, sesame oil, and ginger together in a saucepan; bring to a boil.
• Whisk cornstarch and water together in a small bowl; stir into the sauce. Remove from heat and set aside to cool and thicken.
• Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 360 degrees F (182 degrees C).
• Season chicken wings with lemon-pepper seasoning.
• Fry chicken wings in batches of 6 to 8 at a time in hot oil until no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, 6 to 8 minutes per batch. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the meatiest part of the wing, near the bone, should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
• Put cooked wings into a large mixing bowl. Ladle sauce over the wings and toss to coat.

SPICY CHINESE CHICKEN WINGS

Steps:

• Rinse and pat dry the chicken wings. Whisk together the sugar, soy sauce, rice wine, chili garlic sauce, sesame oil, and garlic in a large bowl, then add the chicken wings and toss to evenly coat.
• Heat a lightly oiled skillet over medium heat. Stir in the chicken wings, sauce, and water. Cover and cook until the chicken wings are no longer pink at the bone, turning the chicken wings occasionally, about 15 minutes. Remove lid and continue cooking until the sauce has thickened, 5 to 10 minutes.

ORIENTAL HOT WINGS

Steps:

• Combine everything except chicken wings in a heavy sauce pan and bring to a boil.
• Pour over chicken wings coating each wing well. (I use a zip lock bag to store in the frig and turn it frequently).
• Let stand in the frig overnight.
• Preheat over to 350°F.
• Place chicken wings on an aluminum foil lined baking dish with sauce and bake for about 1 hour and 15 minutes turning often, brushing with sauce.
• The sauce will caramelize. It is best when using only the drum stick of the wing.
• (If you prefer, use half of the sauce to marinade the chicken reserving half for basting. I've used both methods and it works well).

ASIAN HOT WINGS BY PIONEER WOMAN/ REE DRUMMOND (MAKE AHEAD)

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Heat 3 inches of canola oil in a heavy pot to 375 degrees F.
• Add half the chicken wing parts to the oil and fry them until they're golden brown and fully cooked, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels. Repeat with the other half of the wing parts.
• Add the plum jelly to a bowl. Then stir in the soy sauce and rice wine vinegar. Add the brown sugar, ginger, red onions, garlic, red pepper flakes and hot peppers. Stir to combine, and then pour it into a saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook the sauce until slightly thickened, about 15 minutes. Then turn off the heat.
• Place the wings in an ovenproof dish and pour the sauce over the top, reserving some sauce for serving. Toss to coat, and then bake in the oven for 15 minutes.
• Place the wings in dishes, and then spoon extra sauce over the top. Serve with cool vegetables to go with that delicious heat.
