Sticky & Crispy Asian Chicken Wings

The firmness of the chicken wings is astonishing - particularly considering they're stove heated. I have Nagi's formula from Recipe Tin Eats to thank for that. She's the chicken wing sovereign! There soo great, I made a Buffalo Chicken Wings as well!

 

Each wing is cleaved into the two pieces, dried completely with kitchen towels (to guarantee they don't retain an excess of heating powder) at that point blended in a bowl with preparing powder (it HAS to be preparing powder, NOT heating pop), salt and pepper. There's a considerable amount of heating powder and salt in this formula, which sounds somewhat abnormal, however it truly draws the dampness out of the chicken to get that ideal crunchy freshness. Look at my notes re: preparing powder beneath.

Ingredients:

 

Chicken Wings:

• 1.5 kg chicken wings
• 2 level tbsp aluminium-free baking powder - (It has to be baking powder, NOT baking soda) - see further notes on baking powder below
• ¾ tsp salt - (make sure it's regular table salt)
• ½ tsp pepper
• 3 tbsp chopped spring onions/scallions

 

Sticky Asian Sauce:

• 1 thumb-sized piece of ginger - peeled and minced
• 5 tbsp dark soy sauce
• 1 tbsp sweet chilli sauce
• 2 tbsp honey
• 4 tbsp brown sugar
• 1 tsp vegetable oil
• pinch of salt and pepper
• 1 tsp lemon grass paste
• 2 cloves garlic - peeled and minced

 

Instructions:

 

1. Preheat the oven to 120C/250F and place a rack on a large baking tray.
2. Cut each wing at the joint so you have a mini wing and a drumette. Dry the wings with paper towels, then place in a large bowl and add the baking powder, salt and pepper. Toss to combine. Note - it's important to dry the wings first so they only get a light coating. Discard any remaining coating once tossed together.
3. Place in a single layer on the rack, skin side up. It's fine for them to be touching. Place on the lower shelf of the oven for 30 minutes.
4. After 30 minutes, turn the oven up to 220c (425f), rotate the tray and place on a higher shelf (higher middle) in the oven for 45-50 minutes until the wings are golden and crispy. Take out of the oven to cool slightly.
5. Place all of the sauce ingredients into a saucepan, stir and bring to the boil. Allow to bubble for 5-10 minutes until the sauce reduces and thickens slightly (it will thicken more as it cools). Turn off the heat.
6. Place the wings in a large bowl and very carefully pour over the sticky sauce (be careful, it will VERY hot). Toss to combine, then serve topped with chopped spring onions.
