Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 lbs Chicken wings
- 0.5 cup Soy sauce
- 0.25 cup Honey
- 2 tbsp Brown sugar
- 2 tbsp Rice vinegar
- 3 Garlic cloves (minced)
- 1 tbsp Fresh ginger (grated)
- 1.5 tbsp Sriracha
- 2 tsp Cornstarch
- 1 tbsp Water (for cornstarch slurry)
- 4 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Cornstarch (for coating wings)
- 1 cup Greek yogurt (plain, for dipping sauce)
- 0.5 cup Cucumber (grated, for dipping sauce)
- 1 tbsp Lime juice
- 2 tbsp Fresh cilantro (chopped, for garnish)
- 1 tbsp Sesame seeds (for garnish)
Instructions
Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels and place them in a large bowl. Season with salt and black pepper, and toss to coat evenly.
Add 0.5 cup of cornstarch to the wings and toss to ensure each piece is well coated. This will help create a light crispy texture when fried.
In a medium-size bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, brown sugar, rice vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, and Sriracha until well combined. Set this teriyaki sauce mixture aside.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat to 350°F (175°C).
Working in batches, carefully fry the wings in the hot oil for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown and fully cooked through. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the wings to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
In a small bowl, whisk together 2 teaspoons of cornstarch and 1 tablespoon of water to make a slurry.
Transfer the teriyaki sauce mixture to a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring it to a gentle simmer and stir in the cornstarch slurry. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the sauce thickens to a glossy consistency. Remove from heat.
Place the fried wings in a large mixing bowl and drizzle the thickened teriyaki sauce over them. Toss to coat the wings thoroughly.
For the dipping sauce, combine plain Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, lime juice, and a pinch of salt in a small bowl. Mix well and refrigerate until ready to serve.
Arrange the saucy wings on a serving platter and sprinkle them with chopped fresh cilantro and sesame seeds for garnish.
Serve immediately with the chilled cucumber-yogurt sauce on the side for a refreshing contrast.
