Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prep the Wings

    Rinse the chicken wings under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Place them in a large bowl.

  2. 2

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep pot or fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 375°F (190°C).

Sauce Making

  1. 3

    Prepare the Thai Chili Sauce

    In a mixing bowl, combine Thai chili paste, honey, soy sauce, and lime juice. Mix well and set aside.
