Crispy Sticky-Spiced Soy-Honey Chicken Wings

These wings are all about contrast: a shattering golden crust, juicy meat underneath, and a glossy soy-honey glaze with a gentle spark of heat. First the wings are fried until deeply golden, then tossed quickly in a spiced sauce — a snack you simply cannot stop reaching for.

Ingredients

• 2 eggs
• 2 fl oz | 60 ml milk
• 1 1/2 tbsp Seven Colors Grill Seasoning
• 1 cup | 250 ml all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
• 30 chicken wings
• 2 cups | 500 ml neutral oil for deep frying
• 2 tbsp butter
• 2 fl oz | 60 ml thick soy sauce
• 1 tsp white vinegar
• 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tbsp honey
• 1 tsp chili flakes
• 2 tbsp water

Step-by-Step Recipe

1. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs with the milk and 1/2 tbsp of the Seven Colors Grill Seasoning.
2. In another bowl, combine the flour, garlic powder, black pepper, and the remaining 1 tbsp seasoning.
3. Dip the wings in the egg mixture, then coat thoroughly in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
4. Heat the frying oil to 347–356°F | 175–180°C. Fry the wings in batches for 5–7 minutes per side, until crisp, golden, and cooked through. Transfer to paper towels to drain excess oil.
5. For the sauce, melt the butter in a skillet, then add the soy sauce, white vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, honey, chili flakes, and water. Simmer for 2–3 minutes over low heat until slightly thickened.
6. Transfer the fried wings to the skillet with the sauce and toss quickly until each wing is evenly coated. Serve immediately.

Tips and Variations

• Oil temperature is the key to crispiness: keep it at 347–356°F | 175–180°C and do not overcrowd the pot.
• For a thicker crust, use a double dredge: flour → egg → flour.
• Adjust the heat with chili flakes: less for a softer finish, more for a spicier bite.
• Without deep frying: bake on a rack at 428°F | 220°C for 35–40 minutes, turning halfway through, then toss in the sauce.
• Air fryer: 392°F | 200°C for 18–22 minutes, turning once; lightly mist with oil.
• No Seven Colors Grill Seasoning? Mix salt, sweet paprika, ground coriander, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and a pinch of dried herbs.

FAQ

Can I replace deep frying with oven baking?

Yes. Arrange the wings on a rack set over a baking sheet, brush with oil, and bake at 428°F | 220°C for 35–40 minutes, turning halfway through. Toss the finished wings in the sauce.

What can I use instead of Seven Colors Grill Seasoning?

Mix salt, paprika, ground coriander, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and a pinch of dried thyme or oregano for a similar flavor profile.
