  • Fans eager to recreate the celebrity-famous sauce using only common, accessible ingredients commonly found in student kitchens.

Ingredients needed 🛒2 servings

  • chicken wings 600g
  • sriracha sauce 3 tablespoons
  • light soy sauce 3 tablespoons
  • sugar 3 tablespoons
  • vinegar 2 tablespoons
  • red pepper powder 1 tablespoon
  • salt a pinch
  • pepper a pinch
  • perilla leaves 1–2 sheets
  • sesame seeds a pinch
  • vegetable oil 1 tablespoon

Recipe 🍳

  1. In a bowl, combine sriracha sauce 3 tablespoons, light soy sauce 3 tablespoons, sugar 3 tablespoons, vinegar 2 tablespoons, and red pepper powder 1 tablespoon. Mix well until the sugar dissolves, creating a spicy-sweet tangy marinade.
  2. Lightly coat a pan with 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil, then evenly arrange the prepared 600g of chicken wings without overlapping.
  3. Sprinkle salt and pepper evenly over the chicken wings to season them lightly.
  4. Immediately cover the pan with a lid to prevent splattering and ensure even internal cooking, then cook over medium heat.
  5. Flip the chicken wings once or twice to ensure all sides are evenly browned and deeply golden.
  6. Once the chicken is fully cooked through and juicy inside, turn off the heat and use a kitchen towel to wipe away all excess oil from the pan bottom.
  7. Pour the pre-made sriracha marinade into the pan, then use the residual heat to toss the chicken wings until evenly coated.
  8. Plate the finished chicken wings neatly, garnish with finely chopped washed perilla leaves and a sprinkle of sesame seeds, and serve.
  1. Mix sriracha, light soy sauce, sugar, vinegar, and red pepper powder to make a spicy-sweet tangy sauce.
  2. Add vegetable oil to a pan, place seasoned chicken wings in, cover with a lid, and cook thoroughly until evenly browned on all sides.
  3. Turn off the heat, remove excess oil from the pan, add the sauce, toss with residual heat, and top with chopped perilla leaves and sesame seeds.

Cooking tips 💡

  • Always cover the pan while cooking chicken to prevent oil splatter and ensure even internal heat penetration, keeping the meat juicy throughout.
  • To achieve a refined sauce flavor and acidity without relying on ingredients hard to find in dorms—like honey or lemon juice—this recipe uses readily available sugar and vinegar for practicality.
  • The fresh perilla leaf garnish complements the exotic spiciness of the sriracha sauce perfectly, elevating the dish’s overall sophistication.
