Szechuan Chicken Wings Recipes

Steps:

• In a large resealable plastic bag, combine the soy sauce, sugar, water, garlic, lemon juice and chili sauce; set aside. , Cut chicken wings into three sections; discard wing tip sections. Place flour in another large resealable plastic bag; add chicken wings, a few at a time, and shake to coat. , In an electric skillet or deep-fat fryer, heat oil to 375°. Fry chicken, a few pieces at a time, for 8 minutes or until golden brown and juices run clear, turning occasionally. Drain on paper towels. Add chicken to soy sauce mixture, a few pieces at a time, and shake to coat.,

Steps:

• Heat oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 3. Toss the chicken in 1 tsp salt and the baking powder - this is the secret to getting crispy skin! Put the wings on a wire rack set over an oven tray. Bake for 30 mins, turning halfway, then turn the heat up to 220C/200C fan/gas 7 and cook for 20 mins more.
• Meanwhile, toast the peppercorns and chilli flakes until fragrant, about 2 mins, then grind using a pestle and mortar. Tip into a saucepan, then add the rest of the ingredients apart from the chopped peanuts and chilli flakes. Whisk to combine, then cook over a medium heat for 8-10 mins until thickened and bubbling. Set aside.
• Take the chicken off the rack and tip onto the tray, then coat in the glaze. Return to the oven for 5 mins until bubbling and sticky. Serve the chicken scattered with the peanuts and chilli flakes.

Steps:

• For the double fried wings: Put the wings in a large container and pour the salt and 2 gallons of water over the top. Let the brine wings sit, refrigerated, for at least 12 hours.
• For the buffalo sriracha sauce: Combine hot sauce, vinegar, sriracha, sriracha powder, soy lecithin powder and xanthan gum in a blender. Melt the butter for about 10 minutes over medium heat. Turn blender on low speed and slowly add butter. Add until all of it has been well blended.
• For the bourbon teriyaki glaze: Combine wine, soy sauce, brown sugar, vinegar, bourbon, garlic and ginger in a pot. Bring to the boil and simmer for 20 minutes. Combine cornstarch with 2 cups water in a bowl, then add cornstarch slurry to the sauce and bring back to the boil for 10 minutes. Simmer and stir until it thickens. Let cool for 20 minutes, then blend until completely purified.
• For the Szechuan Parmesan dry rub: Toast the peppercorns in a pan over medium heat until fragrant, being sure to avoid any charring or burning, then blend to a coarse grain. Mix together with the Parmesan, garlic powder and pepper flakes and store in a dry container.
• For the Szechuan garlic oil: Put oil, garlic and pepper in a pot over medium heat for about 20 minutes to allow flavors to infuse. Cool to room temperature, then store in a dry squeeze bottle.
• For the double fried wings: Heat the vegetable oil in a deep-fryer or Dutch oven to 350 degrees F.
• Combine the potato starch and 1 cup water in a bowl and mix thoroughly. Dip the wings into the slurry and then into frying oil. Cook for approximately 4 minutes. Take the fried wings out and put them back into the slurry, then fry again for approximately 3 minutes more.
• Toss a third of the wings in the buffalo sauce and a third in the teriyaki glaze. Lightly coat the remaining third of the wings in the Szechuan garlic oil, then sprinkle the Szechuan Parmesan dry rub over them.

Steps:

• In a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven, combine the wings, soy sauce, sugar, garlic, ginger, five-spice, Szechuan peppercorns, dried chiles, scallion greens (reserve the sliced whites for garnish) and star anise. Mix all of the ingredients until well combined. You may marinate the wings overnight for a deeper flavor, if you wish.
• Add the rice vinegar and beer to the pot. Bring the pot up to a boil over high heat, and then lower the heat to a rolling simmer. Braise the wings, uncovered, until they are tender, about 1 hour. Remove the wings from the braise to a sheet tray and refrigerate until cold.
• Reduce the braise over medium heat until the consistency can thinly coat the back of a spoon. Strain the braising liquid through a fine mesh sieve, discarding the solids. Whisk in the butter to the glaze. Check for seasoning.
• Preheat the deep-frying oil in a large pot to 375 degrees F.
• Pat the chilled chicken wings dry, and then toss to coat in the cornstarch-flour mixture, shaking off any excess flour.
• Deep-fry the wings in small batches, being careful to not overcrowd the pot, until dark brown and crispy, about 3 minutes. Drain the wings from the oil into a large bowl, adding the spicy beer glaze and tossing until well coated. Serve the wings hot garnished with the sliced scallion whites.

Steps:

• Rinse the chicken and pat dry with paper towels. Cut the chicken breasts into thin strips. (Partially freeze chicken breasts first to make this easier).
• Combine the sauce ingredients in a small bowl and set aside. Whisk the cornstarch into the egg whites. Coat the chicken strips in the cornstarch mixture. Heat 1 cup oil in the wok. Cook the chicken strips briefly in the hot oil until they turn white. Remove the chicken and drain on paper towels. Clean out the wok and add 1 tablespoon oil. When the oil is hot, add the carrots. Stir-fry briefly and add the peppers.
• Make a "well" in the middle of the wok and add the sauce. Heat briefly, then mix the sauce in with the vegetables.
• Return the chicken to the wok.
• Stir-fry 1 to 2 more minutes. Stir in the green onions. Serve with rice.

Steps:

• Combine marinade ingredients in a bowl, add the chopped chicken. Marinate for 10 minutes.
• In about 1 ½ inch (4 cm) of oil, fry the chicken until browned and crispy. Remove and set aside.
• Heat oil in a wok or a large pan. Add the Szechuan peppercorn and dried red chilies. Fry until fragrant.
