This is a foolproof method for frying the crispiest wing. The honey miso sauce is a game changer.

Ingredients

Directions

Special equipment:
a deep-fry thermometer
  1. Line two rimmed baking sheets with foil and set a wire rack inside each.
  2. Pat the wings dry with a paper towel, then add to a large bowl and sprinkle the baking soda and salt over the top. Toss until thoroughly coated, then divide evenly between the two baking racks, leaving a little space between each wing. Refrigerate, uncovered, from 8 hours to 24 hours.
  3. Fill a large Dutch oven halfway with canola oil and heat over medium-high heat to 350 degrees F.
  4. Add about half of the chicken to the hot oil and fry, flipping occasionally, until cooked through and crispy, 12 to 14 minutes. Transfer the wings with a slotted spoon to a paper towel lined plate to drain. Repeat with the remaining batch.
  5. Meanwhile, in a small saucepan over medium heat, add the honey, butter, miso, vinegar, gochujang, ginger and garlic. Bring to a simmer, stirring often, for 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl and set aside.
  6. While the wings are still hot, add them to the bowl with the honey-miso sauce and toss to coat. Transfer to a serving platter and sprinkle with the sesame seeds. Serve hot.
