- 2 cup soy milk
- 2 TBS vinegar
- 1 tsp sriracha hot sauce
- 2 cup flour
- 2 tsp garlic powder
- 2 tsp smoked paprika(or sweet paprika)
- 1 tsp salt
Maple Glaze
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1/2 cup sweet chili sauce
- 1/4 cup water
- 2 TBS white vinegar
- 2 TBS sriracha hot sauce
- 1 tsp ginger, peeled and grated about a 1/2 inch piece
Instructions
Prep
- Make the buttermilk- Add soy milk and vingear to a large bowl or container, mix to combine, and let sit for 3-5 minutes. Add sriracha and cut and cleaned chicken wings and toss so each one is coated. Let the wings marinate overnight or for a minimum of 30 minutes in the buttermilk. The longer they sit the more tender the chicken meat will be.
- Meanwhile, in a large container with a tight fitting lid, combine flour, garlic powder, paprika, and salt and whisk to combine.
- Working with about 5 wings at a time, place wings in the flour mixture in a single layer, put the lid on the container, and shake the whole thing to fully coat the wings.One at a time, place wings back in the buttermilk marinade, and then back into the flour mixture, once again in a single layer. Once all 5 wings have been coated in marinade for a second time, put the lid on the flour container and shake to coat the wings again. Place the double coated wings on a baking tray. Continue until all wings have been double coated.
Fry
- Heat oil in a large frying pan until the oil shimmers. Carefully add the wings, being careful not to crowd the oil, as this will lower the temperature and result in a less-crispy wing. Once the wings are golden brown and crispy, flip to fry the second side.Remove with tongs and let rest on a cooling rack while you prep the glaze.
Maple Glaze
- Add all ingredients to a small frying pan, bring to a boil, and let boil for a minute and a half. Right before serving, dip each wing in the glaze to fully coat them. Alternatively, add the glaze to a large bowl and toss the wings together to coat. Eat hot!
