Spicy Thai Chicken Wings - Thai-version of buffalo wings, easy, quick, delicious and the taste is out of this world.
In the United States, all the sports fans are counting down to February 3, for Super Bowl 2013. Super Bowl is all about chicken wings, as the football enthusiasts watch the game while nibbling mouthwatering chicken wings. Other than the regular buffalo wings, you might want to try out something different this year, and I have just the perfect recipe for you—spicy Thai chicken wings that are sure to fire up the appetite and add some heat to the intense Superbowl game.
The flavor of these spicy Thai chicken wings is similar to the regular spicy buffalo wings but with an Asian twist. The heat comes from Sriracha, everyone’s favorite Thai hot sauce, with a tint of briny umami taste from soy sauce and Chinese oyster sauce, plus the subtle aroma of Chinese cooking wine. To serve, keep it American style by pairing the spicy Thai chicken wings with celery sticks.
Try this recipe this Super Bowl and I am very sure that everyone will be in for a treat and will not stop eating! Have fun.

- 1/2 cup tapioca starch
- 2 tablespoons peanut oil

- Transfer the chicken wings to a serving plate, sprinkle with chopped peanuts, and serve with cilantro and celery on the side. If there's extra sauce, pour it into a bowl and serve alongside the chicken wings.

I made these today for dinner for my husband and I.
These were so delicious. I did 3 lbs of the wings there was plenty of sauce. The Spicy Thai Wings will be made again. The Vietnamese Wing recipe is good too. Love your site and recipes.
