Chicken wings are great for game days, and are a go to appetizer, and making them at home can be done ease. This recipe has 4 sauces: creamy garlic parmesan, honey BBQ, sriracha buffalo, and soy lemon. Each with their own identity, these wings can please anyone.
CRISPINESS
Whenever you eat chicken wings they should be crispy. This batter is high in cornstarch, which causes a lot of crispiness. Also, by tossing the wings in the cornstarch before the batter, the batter sticks better, and a crispy crust forms. I would also recommend tossing the wings in the sauces just before serving to prevent the crust from becoming overly soggy. Furthermore, drying the wings before and after allows the wings to crisp up, and stay crispy.
Dry your wings, and toss in cornstarch. Heat oil to 350°F. Next, mix the cornstarch, flour, baking powder, spices, and water.
Coat wings in the liquid mixture, and gently place in hot oil. Cook until wings are golden brown, and fully cooked.
Meanwhile, prepare all the sauce by mixing all the ingredients together in separate bowls.
Dry all wings, and toss in the sauces.
