poultry essentials: spicy asian wing sauce

Wichita, KS
Updated on Oct 23, 2020

I thought we would be casual last night, so I whipped up a bunch of these and put together a new sauce, then we went downstairs and watched, It’s the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown. My favorite way to make un-sauced wings is in the air fryer. Just wings, oil, salt, and pepper. With wings made this way, it is the sauce that delivers that final taste-bud punch, and this is one spicy sauce. So, you ready… Let’s get into the kitchen.

How To Make poultry essentials: spicy asian wing sauce

  • Step 1
    PREP/PREPARE
  • Step 2
    Bringing something up to the boil. Bringing something “up to the boil” is subject to some interpretation. For example, this recipe instructs you to bring the sauce up to the boil, and then reduce it to a simmer. I could crank my Viking range up full and have this it at a, rolling boil in 30 seconds, and it some cases that might be okay; however, this sauce contains sugars, and sugars will burn at that high a heat. So, here is a rule-of-thumb to go by. If the sauce you are making has to come to the boil, and it contains sugars, adjust the heat so that it takes about 5 minutes to reach a boiling state. A bit longer is acceptable but getting there faster runs the risk of burning the sugars.
