Hopscotch Chicken Wings
- 1 lb. chicken wings
- 2 Tbsp. salt
- 12 Tbsp. butter
- 7 Tbsp. red miso
- 4 Tbsp. rayu (Japanese chile sesame oil)
- 6 Tbsp. water
- 2 Tbsp. ginger, grated
- 1 bunch green onions, charred and sliced (broil in oven until charred, then slice)
- Canola or cottonseed oil (for frying; enough to be two inches deep)
- 1. Cut each wing into three parts: the drumette (looks like a small drumstick), the wing (with the two bones), and the tip. Throw away the tips.
- 2. Put the wings in a saucepan, cover with water, and add the salt. Bring the water to a simmer on medium-low heat, being careful not to boil the water.
- 3. Once the water starts simmering, cover the pot, turn off the heat, and let the wings sit for 8 minutes so that they cook through.
- 4. Drain the wings and pat them dry with a paper towel, then let them air-dry on a plate, rack, or backing sheet until they're no longer moist to the touch.
- 5. While you're waiting, start the sauce: Mix everything but the frying oil in a large bowl using an electric whisk or a spatula and some elbow grease.
- 6. Heat the frying oil to 350 degrees and gently ease in the dry wings. Once the wings turn golden brown (about 5 minutes, since they're precooked), pull them out and let them drain for a moment on a plate topped with paper towels.
- 7. Put the wings in with the sauce, get 'em slathered up, then eat.
