SPICY FRIED CHICKEN WINGS: CHINESE TAKEOUT STYLE

Steps:

• Put your chicken wings in a large bowl. In a small bowl, combine the paprika, 1 1/2 tablespoons of dried red chili flakes, white pepper, ground Sichuan peppercorns, cumin, salt, and sugar and mix thoroughly.
• To the chicken wings, add half of the spice mixture and the Shaoxing wine, and mix thoroughly with your hands until the chicken wings are evenly coated. Cover, and let the wings marinate in the refrigerator overnight (a full 24 hours is even better).
• After the wings have finished marinating, take them out of the refrigerator, and let them come up to room temperature. There may be some liquid at the bottom of the bowl, which is fine. Add the beaten egg white, cornstarch, and flour to the wings, and mix well with a spatula. The wings should be very lightly coated with a thin batter.
• In a deep pot, heat your frying oil to 325F. There should be enough oil so that the wings can be submerged. Fry the wings in small batches for 5 minutes each, and transfer to a sheet pan lined with paper towels.
• After all of the wings are fried, return them to the oil in batches fry a second time for 2 minutes each batch--until they turn golden brown and crispy. Transfer the wings to a stainless steel bowl and sprinkle in the remaining spice mixture. Toss the wings until they are well coated!
• If you like, per standard practice with fried food, feel free to add more salt to taste before serving!

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.

FRIED SWEET-AND-SPICY CHICKEN WINGS

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.

AIR-FRYER SPICY CHICKEN WINGS

Steps:

• In a large bowl, toss chicken with baking powder, salt and pepper until the pieces are thoroughly coated. Spread the pieces out on a rack placed on a rimmed baking sheet and refrigerate, uncovered, for at least 1 hour and up to overnight. (The longer, the better.)
• Heat the air fryer to 400 degrees, if preheating is necessary.
• Arrange chicken on air fryer rack so all of the pieces are standing up against the edges of the basket, with as much space around each one as possible. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk together butter, lemon zest and juice, honey, Tabasco and sriracha.
• Immediately transfer the fried chicken wings to the bowl with the honey-chile sauce and toss well. Serve at once.

SPICY AIR FRYER WINGS

Steps:

• Rinse chicken and pat dry. Place in a large bowl, drizzle with oil, and toss to coat.
• Combine paprika, chili powder, cumin, onion powder, garlic powder, black pepper, salt, and cayenne in a small bowl. Sprinkle over chicken and toss until evenly covered.
• Preheat an air fryer to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) according to manufacturer's instructions.
• Arrange chicken in the basket of the preheated air fryer in a single layer, not touching. Cook until no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 12 minutes, turning halfway through. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). For crispier wings, increase temperature to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) and cook for 2 to 3 minutes more.
• Let rest for a few minutes before serving.

SPICY FRIED CHICKEN WING "DRUMSTICKS"

Steps:

• Cut off the wing tips, reserving them for another use such as stock if desired, and halve the wings at the joint. Separate the "drumstick," or first-joint, pieces (the thick ones) from the second-joint pieces. Beginning at the narrower end of each "drumstick," with a sharp knife cut the tendons and, holding the exposed end of the bone with a kitchen towel, scrape the skin and meat down the bone as far as possible toward the thicker end to make a plump drumstick shape. Cut through the cartilage at one end of each second-joint piece, separating the bones, scrape the skin and meat down the large bone to make a plump drumstick shape, and pull out and discard the smaller bone. Arrange all of the "drumsticks" in a shallow dish, sprinkle them with the lemon juice and salt and pepper to taste, and let them marinate, covered and chilled, for 1 hour.
• Make the batter while the chicken is marinating:
• In a bowl whisk together the flour, the salt, the paprika, the cumin, the pepper, the thyme, and the cayenne and make a well in the center. Add the beer and the oil in a stream, whisking, and whisk the batter until it is smooth. Let the batter stand at room temperature for 1 hour. Stir the batter before using it.
• In a large deep fryer or large deep kettle heat 2 inches of the oil to 375°F. on a deep-fat thermometer. Dip the chicken in the batter and fry it in the oil, 5 pieces at a time, turning it, for 3 minutes, or until it is cooked through and golden. Transfer the chicken with a slotted spoon as it is fried to paper towels to drain and make sure the oil returns to 375°F. before adding each new batch. Sprinkle the "drumsticks" with salt to taste, arrange them on a platter, and garnish the platter with the parsley sprigs.
