SALT AND VINEGAR CHICKEN WINGS RECIPES RECIPES

Steps:

• 1. Toast the sesame seeds in a dry 20cm non-stick frying pan on a medium heat until lightly golden, then remove to a plate.
  2. Still on the heat, sit the wings in the pan – they should fit snugly. Let them colour for 1 minute on each side, then add the teriyaki and just cover the wings with water.
  3. Halve the chilli lengthways and add to the pan. Simmer for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the chicken is tender and the sauce is nice and sticky, turning occasionally.
  4. Add a splash of red wine vinegar to the pan and jiggle around to pick up the gnarly bits.
  5. Trim and finely slice the spring onions, scatter them over the chicken with the toasted sesame seeds, and get stuck in.

Steps:

• Whisk the vinegar, 1 cup water, 3 tablespoons salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a medium bowl until the salt is mostly dissolved. Pour the liquid over the wings in a large nonreactive bowl or baking dish and submerge the wings. Refrigerate, stirring occasionally so that all the wings are coated, 2 hours.
• Drain the wings. Pat dry and let come to room temperature. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F.
• Set a rack on a baking sheet. Fill a large heavy pot halfway with vegetable oil; heat over medium-high heat until a deep-fry thermometer registers 375 degrees F. 
• Whisk the flour, cornstarch, 2 teaspoons salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a large bowl. Whisk in 2 cups very cold water to form a light batter. Add the wings to the batter and stir to coat. Lift out the wings one at a time, letting the excess drip back into the bowl. 
• Working in batches, fry the wings: Using tongs, lower the wings into the hot oil and hold for a couple of seconds before letting go to seal the coating. Fry until golden and crisp, 8 to 9 minutes. Remove to the prepared baking sheet, sprinkle with salt and keep warm in the oven while you continue. Serve with assorted sauces.
