Buffalo Wild Wings Asian Zing Sauce & Wings Copycat Recipe
Description
The preparation begins by cooking garlic and ginger in vegetable oil, infusing the base with aromatic depth. Sugar, soy sauce, seasoned rice vinegar, and chili garlic sauce combine next, simmering briefly to develop a balanced sweet, sour, and spicy sauce. A cornstarch slurry is added to thicken the sauce to a glossy consistency, finished with lemon juice for brightness.
Meanwhile, chicken wings are dried thoroughly then deep fried at high heat until cooked through and crisp. After frying, the wings are tossed gently in the prepared sauce to evenly coat them without compromising the crisp texture. This step is repeated for all wings in batches to maintain consistency.
The final dish features wings with a shiny, sticky coating delivering layers of spicy heat, tangy acidity, and savory garlic and ginger notes— ideal for serving warm as finger food or party fare.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon garlic chopped
- 1 tablespoon ginger fresh, minced
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 3/4 cup soy sauce
- 3/4 cup seasoned rice vinegar
- 1/4 cup Chili garlic sauce
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 3 tablespoons water
- 1 1/2 teaspoons lemon juice
- 2 pounds chicken wings cut into drumettes and wingettes with wing tips removed
- vegetable oil for deep frying, or canola oil
Instructions
- Place the vegetable oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. When the oil is hot, add the garlic and ginger and cook for about 2 minutes, stirring frequently. Then add the sugar, soy sauce, seasoned rice vinegar, and chili garlic sauce and cook for about 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- While the sauce is cooking, make a cornstarch slurry by combining the cornstarch and water in a small bowl. Mix well.
- Add the cornstarch slurry to the sauce and stir. When the sauce thickens, remove the pot from the stove. Add the lemon juice and stir.
- Pat the chicken wings dry with a paper towel.
- In a deep fryer, heat the oil to 375°F. Deep fry the chicken wings for 10 to 12 minutes, until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F. Remove the wings from the fryer and transfer to a wire rack.
- Place 1/4 of the wings in a medium bowl, add a ladle of sauce, and gently toss. Repeat until all the wings are coated in sauce. Serve.
