Korean BUFFALO WINGS

This is my version of Buffalo wings, tossed in a Korean-style hot sauce. If you can’t find pre-cut ‘party wings’, get regular wings, cut off and discard the tips, and separate the wings at the main joint. Wings can vary quite a bit in size, but 1.3 kilos of average wings will give you a total of 24–26 drumettes and wingettes.

Ingredients

Makes 24-26 drumettes and wingettes

SAUCE

CHICKEN

  • 2 tsp garlic powder
  • 2 tsp onion powder
  • 2 tsp sea salt
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1⁄2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • 1.3 kg (3 lb) chicken drumettes and wingettes or flats (also called ‘party wings’)
  • 140 g (5 oz) potato starch
  • Vegetable oil, for frying

Method

FOR THE SAUCE

  1. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over a medium heat. Whisk in the vinegar, chilli paste and chilli flakes until smooth and set aside in a warm spot.

FOR THE CHICKEN

  1. In a small bowl, stir together the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, baking powder and pepper. Put the chicken in a large bowl, sprinkle with the garlic powder mixture and toss to coat. Leave to stand for 5–10 minutes. Sprinkle the potato starch over the chicken and toss again, making sure the chicken is well coated.
  2. In a large, wide, heavy-based pot at least 13 cm (5 in) deep, heat 5 cm (2 in) of oil over a medium-high heat until it reaches 190°C/375°F. Working in batches, fry the chicken, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through, 8–10 minutes in total. Transfer to a wire rack or kitchen paper-lined plate to drain. Let the oil return to 190°C/375°F between batches.
  3. Put the cooked wings in a very large bowl. If the sauce has separated, give it a good whisk to bring it back together. Drizzle it over the chicken and toss until well coated. Serve immediately.

@judyjoochef Instagram profile imageI have been to Nevis a number of times now, and each visit I fall more in love with this little island nestled in the Caribbean. Nevis neither has a single franchise (no fast food chains, no high end shopping either) nor does it not allow cruise ships to dock, so the island remains an exclusive sanctuary. Despite being small, Nevis still has so much to offer— rich local history (birth place of Alexander Hamilton), stunning natural beauty with activities (you can hike/climb mount Nevis, go on monkey tours, etc @nevissuntours ), and five star hotels!  I also love exploring the vibrant local cuisine— I nosh on island chicken rotis, salt fish patties, goat water (it’s like a curry) grilled local snapper or spiny lobster…and  wash it all down with a rum punch! 
The newly renovated Four Seasons house @fsnevis @fourseasons is the ideal place to stay as well. They have a world class golf course with breath taking views, stellar tennis / pickle ball center with a great coach @nachosalomh , water sports, amazing spa (I had many massages!) and delicious restaurants. I liked eating spicy jerk shrimp tacos on their perfectly groomed beach. 
Service is impeccable as well in true Four Seasons style. I cannot wait to go back! 
Thank you @mnover81 for your amazing generosity and hospitality!  You are the best!!
