Extra Crispy Korean Style Chicken Wings Food

CRISPY BAKED CHICKEN WINGS

Steps:

• For the wings: Preheat your oven to 450 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil and brush the foil with the oil.
• Pat the wings dry with paper towels, then sprinkle with the baking powder and toss to evenly coat in a large mixing bowl. Spread the wings evenly on the prepared baking sheet. Bake until golden brown, crispy and cooked through, 25 to 30 minutes, flipping halfway through.
• For the dry rub: Combine the brown sugar, salt, black pepper, granulated sugar, paprika, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, cayenne and celery seeds in a small bowl.
• Remove the wings from the oven and add to another large mixing bowl. Season well with some of the rub, and then toss to coat. (Reserve the remaining rub for another use.) Serve immediately.

KOREAN CHICKEN WINGS WITH SPICY GOCHUJANG SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 F
• Toss chicken wings with salt in a medium bowl, coating all sides well and set aside.
• Make the batter, whisking all ingredients together until smooth in a medium bowl.
• Set a wire rack over a foil-lined sheet pan near the stove.
• Make the sauce ( to save time, you can do this at the same time as frying the wings). Sauté the garlic and ginger in the oil over medium heat until fragrant and golden. Add the mirin, simmer for 2 minutes, stir in the remaining ingredients- soy sauce, orange juice, Gochujang, red chili paste brown sugar, vinegar, sesame oil and orange zest - and bring to a simmer again. Taste for heat, adding more if you like. Turn heat off.
• Heat one inch of oil, in an extra-large skillet or dutch oven, over medium-high heat until oil is hot, 350F - or until heat sizzles loudly when you test it by dropping a drop of batter in.
• Working in batches, coat the chicken in the batter, using tongs, and place gently in hot oil, careful not to splatter. Be careful not to overcrowd. Fry 7-9 minutes or until golden, being patient, then gently turn over and fry 3 more minutes. They should be golden and crispy.
• Place on the wire rack (set over over a sheet pan) and keep them in the oven while you fry all the remaining chicken. Once all the chicken wings are fried, keep them in the oven for 15 more minutes or until the last batch is cooked through. Double-check by cutting into one- juices should run clear, there should be no red or pink.
• Reheat the sauce, then toss the crispy chicken wings in the sauce and garnish with sesame seeds and scallions.
• Serve immediately so they stay crispy.

CRISPY KOREAN FRIED CHICKEN WINGS

Steps:

• Heat a large non-stick skillet or wok over medium high heat. Add the olive oil, and garlic; cook for 30 seconds or until fragrant. Add soy sauce, honey, vinegar, mustard and brown sugar; stir and cook for 2 minutes or until sugar dissolves. Remove from heat and set aside.
• Place chicken wings in a big mixing bowl. Add ginger, salt and black pepper; using your hand, mix until well blended.
• Place potato starch in a shallow dish. Roll each wing in the powder; shake off excess powder.
• Heat oil in wok or a large frying pan. Add wings few at a time and cook for 8-10 minutes, turning a few times using a tong. Drain on paper towel lined plate. (I cooked mine in three batches).
• Refry the wings, starting with the first batch (followed by second and then third batch), for another 3-5 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Drain on paper towel lined plate.
• Reheat the sauce; add the hot chicken wings. Mix well until wings are fully coated with sauce. Transfer to a platter and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
• Serve and enjoy!

KOREAN FRIED CHICKEN

Steps:

• To make the sauce, put all the ingredients in a saucepan and simmer gently until syrupy, so around 3-4 mins. Take off the heat and set aside.
• Season the chicken wings with salt, pepper and the grated ginger. Toss the chicken with the cornflour until completely coated.
• Heat about 2cm of vegetable oil in a large frying pan over a medium/high heat. Fry the chicken wings for 8-10 mins until crisp, turning halfway. Remove from the oil and place on kitchen paper. Leave to cool slightly (around 2 mins).
• Reheat the sauce, and toss the crispy chicken wings in it. Tip into a bowl and top with the sesame seeds and sliced spring onions.
