AFC (Asian Fried Chicken) Wings

A riff on Korean fried chicken. I’ve been thinking of these for a while, so decided to do something about it. 

Chix wings marinated overnight in rice cooking wine, Malaysian fermented chili paste (minyan cili), black pepper, fresh ginger. 

Blotted dry, then dredged in AP flour (seasoned with salt, cumin, and pepper... left over from a previous cook) 1/3rd cup, rice flour (1 TBSP), and cornstarch (2/3rd cup). Fried at 350F for 5 mins, rested, then fried at 400F for 5 mins. 

Made sauce with with extra hot Indonesian chili sauce (samba extra pedas), more chili paste, thin sliced garlic, agave nectar, and the remaining marinade (about 2 TBSP). Simmered for 5 mins. Tossed the wangs in the sauce. Dusted with shichimi togarashi and roasted sesame seeds.


 

Flavors came together very well- crunchy, hot, sweet, deep spicy flavor. Scratched the itch for sure. 

Hope everyone is having as good a day as I am :)

    Looks good @caliking. Looks like you can do wings as well as you can demolish bourbon slushies.  ;)

    Those were just for the fancy picture. :)

    There were 10 more lurking off set. Caliqueen called midday to check on me, and asked me to save her some.

    Thanks.

     I'm an "ethnic ingredient" hoarder, so at any given time, I have all kinds of ketchups, hot sauces, seasonings, fermented spicy things in the pantry. Often times, its hard to go wrong throwing a bunch of those things together.

    @blind99 - the double fry is key to getting the signature crunch of Korean fried chicken.

    I took some liberties with the recipe for the sauce, and it needs to be tweaked. But the frying x2 was common to all of the recipes I found.

    That was an incredible read of your recipe. The end results look delicious. I absolutely love wings, but that is at a level I will never reach.

    I've never done a double fry but may have to give it a whirl.

    I think we need to modify the pork belly burnt ends recipe with a deep fry finish.  i'd love a bite that has a bit of crunch on the outside.  i've tried crisping the edges in a CI pan but it's really time consuming and still not quite the right consistency.

    You need to ping @DMW. I think he’s done brisket burnt ends with a deep-fry finish. They looked pretty amazing.

     I don't think I'm grown up enough to pull that off :) . 
    What temp do you get the oil up to when frying on the mini?
