The wonderfully spicy chicken wings that husband-and-wife owners Ben Schneider and Sohui Kim serve at their intimate, Asian-inflected restaurant are made with the popular Thai chile sauce Sriracha in place of the classic Frank's Red Hot sauce; the soothing accompaniment is a mix of sour cream spiked with rice vinegar.

Ingredients

  • Ingredients
    1. 1 cup sour cream
    2. 1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
    3. 3 scallions, white and tender green parts only, thinly sliced
    4. Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
    5. 1 cup Sriracha chile sauce
    6. 1 tablespoon sambal oelek or other Asian chile sauce
    7. 1 stick cold unsalted butter, cut into 8 pieces
    8. Vegetable oil, for frying
    9. 3 pounds chicken wings, tips discarded, wings cut in half at the joint

Directions

  1. In a bowl, mix the sour cream with 2 tablespoons of the rice vinegar and the scallions. Season with salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate.
  2. In a saucepan, combine the Sriracha, sambal oelek and the remaining 3 tablespoons of rice vinegar and bring to a boil. Remove from the heat and whisk in the butter until melted; keep warm.
  3. In a large pot, heat 2 inches of oil to 375°. Pat the wings dry and fry in batches until crisp and cooked through, about 5 minutes. Drain on paper towels and season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a large bowl. Pour the hot chile sauce over the wings and toss to coat. Serve with the dipping sauce.
