Ingredients

• 2 lbs Chicken wings
• 0.5 cup Soy sauce
• 0.25 cup Honey
• 2 tbsp Brown sugar
• 2 tbsp Rice vinegar
• 3 Garlic cloves (minced)
• 1 tbsp Fresh ginger (grated)
• 1.5 tbsp Sriracha
• 2 tsp Cornstarch
• 1 tbsp Water (for cornstarch slurry)
• 4 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 0.5 cup Cornstarch (for coating wings)
• 1 cup Greek yogurt (plain, for dipping sauce)
• 0.5 cup Cucumber (grated, for dipping sauce)
• 1 tbsp Lime juice
• 2 tbsp Fresh cilantro (chopped, for garnish)
• 1 tbsp Sesame seeds (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels and place them in a large bowl. Season with salt and black pepper, and toss to coat evenly.

Step 2

Add 0.5 cup of cornstarch to the wings and toss to ensure each piece is well coated. This will help create a light crispy texture when fried.

Step 3

In a medium-size bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, brown sugar, rice vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, and Sriracha until well combined. Set this teriyaki sauce mixture aside.

Step 4

Heat the vegetable oil in a deep skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat to 350°F (175°C).

Step 5

Working in batches, carefully fry the wings in the hot oil for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown and fully cooked through. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the wings to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Step 6

In a small bowl, whisk together 2 teaspoons of cornstarch and 1 tablespoon of water to make a slurry.

Step 7

Transfer the teriyaki sauce mixture to a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring it to a gentle simmer and stir in the cornstarch slurry. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the sauce thickens to a glossy consistency. Remove from heat.

Step 8

Place the fried wings in a large mixing bowl and drizzle the thickened teriyaki sauce over them. Toss to coat the wings thoroughly.

Step 9

For the dipping sauce, combine plain Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, lime juice, and a pinch of salt in a small bowl. Mix well and refrigerate until ready to serve.

Step 10

Arrange the saucy wings on a serving platter and sprinkle them with chopped fresh cilantro and sesame seeds for garnish.

Step 11

Serve immediately with the chilled cucumber-yogurt sauce on the side for a refreshing contrast.
