Korean Chicken Wings

Last but not the least, for the cult following of K-drama all over the country.  Needless to say, this goes best while binging the current talk of the town, Crash Landing On You.

Recipe from delish (https://www.delish.com)

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 lb. chicken wingettes and drumettes, patted dry
• 1/2 c. flour
• 1/2 c. cornstarch
• Kosher salt
• Freshly ground pepper
• Vegetable oil
• 1/4 c. ketchup
• 1/4 c. sriracha
• 2 tbsp. honey
• 1 tsp. lemon juice
• Toasted sesame seeds, for garnishing

Instructions:

1. Whisk together flour and cornstarch in a medium bowl. Season mixture with salt and pepper. Dredge each chicken piece in the flour-cornstarch mixture until evenly coated.
2. Pour about 1 1/2” vegetable oil into a large, deep skillet or shallow pot. Heat over medium heat until the oil reaches about 350 degrees F, or until the oil is shimmering. (If a splash of water sizzles when you flick it into the pan, it’s ready.)
3. Working in batches, add 3-4 chicken pieces to the hot oil using tongs. Do not crowd the pan, or the oil will cool! Cook until golden brown on one side, about 3-4 minutes, then flip and cook until the second side is golden and the chicken is cooked through, 3-4 more minutes. Place the fried chicken on a cooling rack lined with paper towels. Repeat the remaining chicken.
4. In a medium bowl, whisk together ketchup, sriracha, honey and lemon juice until smooth. Toss cooked wings in the sauce. Garnish with toasted sesame seeds. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Now that we’re all set, the only thing left for you to do is hit that play button. Enjoy!
