Time 45m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 cups (720 milliliters) Thai sweet chile sauce
3/4 cup (120 milliliters) sriracha, or more if you prefer it spicier
12 whole chicken wings, cut in half at the joint, with tips discarded or saved for stock
2 cups (450 grams) tempura flour
2 1/2 quarts (2.8 liters) vegetable oil, for frying
2 cups (450 grams) cornstarch

Steps:

Stir the sweet chile sauce and sriracha together in a large bowl. You will be frying the wings and rolling them in this sauce while they're hot.
Rinse the chicken wings in cold water, drain briefly and place in a shallow baking dish while still damp. Sprinkle the wings evenly with the tempura flour and massage until a thin batter forms.
Heat the oil in a large 6-quart Dutch oven or heavy-bottom pot over high heat. Using a deep-fry thermometer, bring the temperature of the oil to 365 degrees F.
Pour the cornstarch into a second large bowl. Dredge the chicken wings through the cornstarch, shake to remove any excess. Working in 3 batches, fry the wings until cooked through and golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes, turning them occasionally. The internal temperature of the chicken should be 165 degrees F.
Drain the wings on paper towels briefly, then roll them in the prepared sauce. Serve hot.

After all the pieces of chicken are coated, place them about 6 or seven at a time (however many will fit in your frier at a time) into the oil for about 10-12 minutes.
While The chicken is frying, begin the sauce. Over Medium heat in a saucepan melt down half the stick of butter. Adding the onion powder, garlic powder, and cinnamon at this time. Then add the honey.
