    For our second Supper Club dish, Dino wanted to make hot and spicy Korean chicken wings like the ones he gets from Hell's Chicken in NYC.

    Double frying these chicken wings makes them nice and crispy. A sweet and spicy sauce and a dusting of crushed peanuts at the end are the perfect finish.

    These were a big hit with our Supper Club, and we love any excuse to bring out the cast iron Dutch oven for deep frying.

    Description

    Double frying these chicken wings makes them nice and crispy. A sweet and spicy sauce and a dusting of crushed peanuts at the end are the perfect finish.


    Ingredients

    Scale

    Peanut oil, for frying
    5 cloves garlic
    1 (1½") piece peeled ginger
    3 tbsp. soy sauce
    3 tbsp. gojujang (Korean chile paste)
    1½ tbsp. rice vinegar
    1 tbsp. Asian sesame oil
    1 tbsp. honey
    ⅔ cup flour
    1 tbsp. cornstarch
    16 chicken wings (about 1 ¾ lbs.)
    ¼ cup peanuts, crushed


    Instructions

    Pour oil into a 6-qt. pot to a depth of 2″. Heat over medium-high heat until a thermometer reads 350˚.

    Chop garlic and ginger in a food processor. Add soy, gojujang, vinegar, sesame oil, and honey; purée. Put sauce into a bowl.

    Whisk flour, cornstarch, and ⅔ cup water in another bowl. Add chicken; toss.

    Working in 3 batches, fry chicken until golden, 6–8 minutes. Drain on paper towels.

    Return oil to 350˚. Fry chicken until crisp, 6–8 minutes more. Drain again.

    Toss chicken in sauce.
