Pepper Teigen's Spicy Thai Chicken Wings
Pepper Teigen
Ingredients
- 3 pounds chicken wings, patted dry
1/4 cup plus 3 tablespoons fish sauce
1/2 tablespoon garlic powder
1/2 tablespoon ground white pepper
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
Vegetable oil, for deep-fry (about 1-2 cups)
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons cornstarch or tapioca flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
Thai sweet chili sauce or Spicy Garlic-Lime Fish
Directions
- Pat your chicken dry and then put the wings in a bowl. Add your garlic powder, fish sauce, white pepper, and salt, and then toss to ensure that all of the chicken is evenly coated. Set aside for 15 minutes or refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Fill a wok, large pot, or deep skillet with about two inches of oil, being sure to leave several inches of clearance at the top. Heat the oil on medium heat to 370 degrees. Set up a wire cooling rack with paper towels underneath nearby.
- As the oil heats up, put your flour, baking powder, and cornstarch into a small bowl and whisk. Sprinkle the mixture all over your chicken wings, until a paste-like coating forms. Be sure to coat each wing evenly.
- When your oil is at 370 degrees, add a couple of your wings to the pan until they're golden brown, about 3-4 minutes. Keep an eye on the crust, and flip or adjust the wings in the oil as necessary. Once the wings are a deep golden color, pull them out of the oil and place them on your wire cooling rack.
- After your wings drain for a few minutes, toss them with the sweet chili Thai sauce, and enjoy!
