INGREDIENTS

  • ½ cup sweet chile sauce (preferably Mae Ploy brand)
  • 1 tablespoon chile paste (preferably sambal oelek)

  • Neutral oil (such as canola or vegetable), for frying
  • 1 lime, cut into wedges, for serving

GUIDE / INSTRUCTIONS

For the Sweet Chile Chicken Wings
  • Place the chile sauce and chile paste in a large bowl . Whisk to combine and set aside. Pour 1 inch of oil into a large heavy pot and heat the oil over medium heat. Test the oil: When a chicken wing sizzles upon contact, it’s ready. Add as many wings as can fit in an even, not-crowded layer. Fry the wings, turning them a few times while they cook, until golden brown all over, about 12 minutes. Regulate the heat while they’re frying so that the oil is hot enough to bubble around the edges of the chicken, but not so hot that the chicken burns. Transfer the wings to a paper towel–lined plate to drain. Break into one to make sure it’s cooked through (if it’s not, throw the batch back into the oil and continue to cook until they’re done). Repeat the process, adding more oil to the pot as needed, until you’ve fried all your wings.
  • Put the wings in the bowl with the chile sauce mixture. Toss well to combine.
  • Transfer to a serving platter. Serve immediately, with lime wedges for squeezing over and plenty of napkins.
