The Secret to Crispy Wings

Achieving that perfect crispiness is the key to making unforgettable chicken wings. The combination of all-purpose flour with garlic and onion powder not only flavors the wings but also creates a satisfying crunch when fried. It's essential to ensure that the oil is hot enough, around 350°F (175°C), to seal the coating and lock in the juiciness of the chicken.

Frying the wings in small batches helps maintain the oil temperature, ensuring that each wing gets the attention it deserves. Once fried to golden perfection, the wings are ready to be coated in the mouthwatering soy garlic sauce, taking them to another level of deliciousness.

Pairing Suggestions and Serving Tips

When it comes to pairing your Bonchon Soy Garlic Chicken Wings, consider serving them with a refreshing dip, such as a cool ranch or blue cheese dressing. These creamy accompaniments beautifully balance the savory flavors of the wings and provide a nice contrast to the heat from the sauce. You can also offer a side of fresh vegetable sticks for a crunchy, healthy addition.

For an authentic experience, serve the wings with steamed rice or a side of Korean pickled radish. These sides enhance the overall meal and provide a delightful textural contrast. Don’t forget to garnish your wings with sesame seeds or chopped green onions for an extra touch of flavor and visual appeal!

Ingredients

For the Wings

2 lbs chicken wings
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Oil for frying

For the Soy Garlic Sauce

1/2 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup brown sugar
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon ginger, minced
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions

Prepare the Chicken Wings

In a large bowl, combine the flour, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss the chicken wings in the flour mixture until well coated.

Fry the Wings

Heat oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C). Fry the wings in batches for about 10-12 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Make the Soy Garlic Sauce

In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the soy sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, ginger, sesame oil, rice vinegar, and red pepper flakes. Cook until the sugar is dissolved and the sauce thickens slightly, about 5 minutes.

Toss the Wings in Sauce

Place the fried wings in a large bowl and pour the soy garlic sauce over them. Toss to coat the wings evenly.

Serve

Serve the wings hot, garnished with sesame seeds or chopped green onions if desired.

Storing Leftovers

If you happen to have any leftover Bonchon Soy Garlic Chicken Wings, storing them properly is essential to maintain their flavor and texture. Allow the wings to cool completely before placing them in an airtight container. They can be stored in the refrigerator for up to three days. When ready to enjoy, simply reheat them in the oven or an air fryer to regain their crispiness.

Avoid microwaving the wings if possible, as this can make them soggy. Reheating in the oven at a low temperature will help preserve that delightful crunch and ensure they taste just as good as when they were freshly made.

Customizing Your Wings

One of the best aspects of Bonchon Soy Garlic Chicken Wings is their adaptability. Feel free to experiment with different sauces or spice blends to create your unique version. For example, try adding a dash of honey for added sweetness or incorporate your favorite hot sauce for an extra kick.

You can also experiment with cooking methods; if you prefer a healthier option, consider baking the wings instead of frying them. While the texture may differ slightly, they can still be delicious when coated in the flavorful soy garlic sauce. The possibilities are endless, so don’t hesitate to get creative!
