    Chicken wings are one of the most classic appetizer and party items. Consequently, some of the most popular flavors are buffalo, barbeque, lemon and pepper and asian flavored wings. To emphasize, these wings have notes of thai chili sauce, hints of fresh orange juice and enough spice to make your taste buds happy.

    By all means pair these wings with my southwestern egg rolls, cajun shrimp deviled eggs, and this mexican nacho board, you won't be disappointed!

    Sweet Chili Orange Chicken Wings Drummet

    This fried wings recipe is approachable for any at-home cook and comes together fairly quickly. First, there's a flour and cornstarch mix that in fact provides the crispy and crunchy coating that most love. The wing sauce consists of a few household ingredients that create the sweetest, tangiest yet spiciest asian infused sauce out there.

    Lastly topped with fresh green onion, cilantro and sesame seeds creates the most flavorful crunchy wings right in the comfort of your home!

    WHAT'S THE BEST OIL TO USE WHEN FRYING CHICKEN?

    It is best to fry chicken in an oil with a high smoke point to clarify, these oils work best:

    • Vegetable Oil
    • Peanut Oil
    • Canola Oil
    • Coconut Oil
    • Oil Blend

    And if you're wanting to stay away from frying the wings, air fry or bake your wings according to cooking method and temperature!

    DO I HAVE TO USE CORNSTARCH AND THE FLOUR?

    No, you do not have to batter the wings but I strongly suggest giving it a try. In detail, if you prefer crispy not rubbery wings, coating them will create an extremely crunchy texture.

    HOW DO I MAKE THE SAUCE?

    This sauce comes together in minutes and doesn't have to be heated. With this in mind, utilize a medium sized bowl and combine garlic, ginger, sesame oil, red garlic chili paste, soy sauce and fresh orange juice. Whisk the sauce until thoroughly combined and set aside.

    RECIPE TIPS

    • Allow the chicken to rest and come to room temperature before frying. Frying cold chicken will lower the temperature of the oil.
    • Be sure to purchase the appropriate type of cooking oil!
    • Thoroughly pat the wings dry before seasoning and prepping them.
    • Ensure the oil is at the right temperature before frying (375 degrees fahrenheit)
    • Allow cooked chicken to dry on a cooling rack for at least five minutes. Do not place on a paper towel, this will make the crust immediately soggy.
    • Serve fresh and hot for best results.
