Spicy Sriracha Wings With Cucumber Sour Cream Recipes

SPICY SRIRACHA WINGS WITH CUCUMBER SOUR CREAM

Steps:

• Make the brine by combining the yuzu juice, 1/2 cup salt, sugar and 2 quarts water in a container large enough to hold the wings. Stir until the salt and sugar dissolve. Add the wings and refrigerate overnight. Rinse well and pat dry.
• In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the butter, sambal, Sriracha and vinegar. Simmer for a few minutes, stirring occasionally. Transfer to a blender and purée until smooth.
• Cut the cucumber crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick pieces. Sprinkle them lightly with salt and let them sit for 10 minutes. Pat dry with a towel. Grate the ginger over a towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out 2 tablespoons juice into a bowl. Add 1/2 teaspoon salt to the juice, then combine with the sour cream and cucumber. Season to taste.
• Pour 2 inches of oil in a 10-by-4-inch pot and place over high heat. When the oil reaches 375 degrees, fry the chicken wings in batches. Cook for about 15 minutes, or until nicely browned. Transfer wings to a bowl. Toss with hot sauce. Serve with cucumber cream.

CRISPY HONEY SRIRACHA CHICKEN WINGS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place an oven-proof wire rack over the foil.
• Whisk baking powder, salt, black pepper, and paprika together in a small bowl. Place chicken wings in a large bowl. Sprinkle 1/2 of the baking powder mixture over wings and toss to coat. Sprinkle remaining baking powder mixture over wings and toss to coat again. Place wings onto the rack of the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Turn wings and continue baking for 20 minutes. Turn wings again and bake until wings are browned and crispy, about 15 minutes more. Transfer wings to a large bowl.
• Whisk honey, sriracha sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil together in a bowl until glaze is smooth. Drizzle glaze over wings and toss to coat completely. Transfer wings to a serving platter and sprinkle sesame seeds over the top.

THE BEST... SPICY SRIRACHA CHICKEN WINGS

Steps:

• In a very large bowl, mix the coriander and cumin seeds, cinnamon, kosher salt and olive oil. Add split chicken wings and toss to cover completely. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
• Preheat your oven to 375°F.
• Spread them wings on a few rimmed baking sheets and roast for about 30 minutes, until the wings are firm but not cooked all the way through. (Healthier Option: At this point, if you don't want to fry the wings, you can roast them for 1 hour longer, until they're golden and crispy.) Wash out your bowl. Add the Sriracha, butter, cilantro, lime zest and juice.
• In a deep fryer or a very large saucepan, heat the vegetable oil to 375°F.
• Fry the wings in 4 or 5 batches until golden and crisp, about 5 minutes per batch; drain, shaking off the excess oil. If you like them crispy like we do, I say give 'em about 7 minutes. As each batch is finished, add the wings to the sauce and toss well. Transfer the wings to a platter, leaving the sauce in the bowl for the remaining batches. Recipe recommends serve hot-but I say they would be just as lovely cold!

SPICY LATIN CHICKEN WINGS

Steps:

• Build a fire in your grill; when the coals are all covered with gray ash and the temperature is medium-low (you can hold your hand 5 inches above the coals for 7 seconds), you're ready to cook. (For a gas grill, turn all burners to high, lower cover, and heat for 15 minutes, then turn burners to medium-low.)
• Cut the wings into 3 sections, saving the tips for stock. Sprinkle the 2 larger sections generously with salt and pepper.
• Put the wing sections on the grill directly over the coals and cook, flipping occasionally, until cooked through, about 10 to 12 minutes. (To check for doneness, cut into one of the wing sections at the joint; there should be no pink.)
• When the wings come off the grill, put them into a large bowl. Add all the remaining ingredients, toss to coat, season with more salt and pepper if needed, and serve.
