Also known as Korean Style Fried Chicken Wings, BonChon-Style Chicken Wings are mainly covered in soy garlic sauce. Given an Asian twist to the American styled chili wings, what makes them unique is the use of cornstarch. Not only is it much more affordable but it gives you a different crunch from the regular wheat flour.
Take a different turn by tasting these spicy yet sweet wings. An odd combination with fried wings, but all worth it once you start licking the sauce off of your fingers and, maybe even off of your plate. Not only do the sesame seeds add another bite to your wings, but because they are double-fried, the heavenly sound from the crispiness will surely get your neighbors’ attention. Try this recipe now!
