Recipe 🍳
- 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.
- Lightly coat a pan with 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil, then evenly arrange the prepared 600g of chicken wings without overlapping.
- Sprinkle salt and pepper evenly over the chicken wings to season them lightly.
- Immediately cover the pan with a lid to prevent splattering and ensure even internal cooking, then cook over medium heat.
- Flip the chicken wings once or twice to ensure all sides are evenly browned and deeply golden.
- 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.
- Pour the pre-made sriracha marinade into the pan, then use the residual heat to toss the chicken wings until evenly coated.
- Plate the finished chicken wings neatly, garnish with finely chopped washed perilla leaves and a sprinkle of sesame seeds, and serve.
- Mix sriracha, light soy sauce, sugar, vinegar, and red pepper powder to make a spicy-sweet tangy sauce.
- Add vegetable oil to a pan, place seasoned chicken wings in, cover with a lid, and cook thoroughly until evenly browned on all sides.
- 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.
