Here’s a simple and delicious recipe for my ‘Double fried Gochujang Hot Honey & lime chicken wings’. The double frying makes these little beauties extra crispy and gnarly. Enjoy! And try to share..
Ingredients (Feeds 2)
500g/12 chicken wings
2 large cloves of garlic
1 thumb of ginger
Two healthy pinches of salt
Around 50g of cornflour
1/2 tsp of baking powder
Vegetable oil for frying
Juice of 1x lime
Finely chopped coriander stalks
Roasted sesame seeds
How to make
1. Put your wings in a bowl, grate in your garlic cloves and and ginger, add your salt and give it all a good working in with your hands making sure to cover each wing thoroughly. Leave to marinate for at least an hour or overnight in the fridge.
2. Bring your wings to room temperature and add in your cornflour and baking powder. Get your hands back in there and make sure each wing is well coated (add more cornflour if you need it).
3. Now for the double fry. Heat up your oil to around 150c. Batch fry your wings being careful not to overcrowd the pan and cool your oil too much. Cook until very lightly brown (around 10mins) and remove from the oil. Now bring your oil back up to roughly 200c and get your wings back in for a second fry until golden brown (around 5-6mins).
Tip: to check your oil is hot enough for frying, dip a wooden or bamboo chopstick into the oil. You’ll see a slow, light bubbles for the first fry temp and a more vigorous immediate bubbles for the second.
3. In a clean bowl mix the WilderBee Gochujang Hot Honey and the juice of one lime together. Add your crispy fried wings while hot and toss in the sauce until all are nicely coated. Plate up, dress with some sesame, coriander, more lime juice or whatever the hell you want, and chow down!
