Delicious and will make again! Topped this with chopped peanuts :)
Awesome! Glad you like it.
This wing sauce is AMAZING! I didn’t have all of the ingredients, so I went through the comments and found replacements for what I did have on hand. I added rice wine vinegar and ginger powder. My family loved it!!
Thanks!
This recipe has become a huge family favourite. I cook them regularly, they never fail and are always demolished by all of us! An absolute winner.
Thanks.
Very tasty chicken wings! Made the recipe to a tee and the sauce was amazing!
Made these last night. I did coat the wings in a flour/baking power mixture to try to get them a little more crispy in the oven. It’s hard to duplicate what you can do with a fryer. The sauce was made exactly as the recipe called for and it out of this world. Five stars for sure.
Thanks.
I use the flour baking powder method when I fry.. going to try this in the baking method. I’m wondering if I should toss the wings in a sesame oil before coating with flour and baking powder…?
Sooo delicious! Didn’t have all the ingredients so I used tomato paste and dry chilli flakes, and rice vinegar instead of apple cider. Sadly that made them not spicy but still very tasty, I will repeat with the right ingredients next time
