Ingredients

• 2 pounds Chicken wings
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 3 cups Vegetable oil
• 0.5 cup Orange juice
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Sriracha
• 1 tablespoon Orange zest
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 0.5 cup Chopped pecans
• 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley (optional garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels and place them in a large bowl.

Step 2

Season the wings with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Sprinkle the cornstarch over the wings and toss until evenly coated.

Step 3

Heat the vegetable oil in a large, deep skillet or fryer to 375°F (190°C).

Step 4

Fry the chicken wings in batches for 8-10 minutes, or until golden brown and fully cooked. Drain the fried wings on paper towels to remove excess oil.

Step 5

While the wings are frying, prepare the orange glaze. In a small saucepan, combine the orange juice, honey, soy sauce, Sriracha, and orange zest. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat and let it cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 6

Stir the butter into the glaze until melted and combined, then remove the saucepan from heat.

Step 7

In a dry skillet, toast the chopped pecans over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant and slightly golden. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 8

Place the fried wings in a large bowl and pour the orange glaze over them. Toss to coat the wings evenly.

Step 9

Transfer the glazed wings to a serving platter and sprinkle the toasted pecans on top. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired.

Step 10

Serve immediately and enjoy your Orange Pecan Hot Wings!
