Spicy Sriracha Chicken Wings
- 10 pounds chicken wings, split
- 1/4 cup coriander seeds, crushed
- 1 teaspoon cumin seeds, crushed
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons kosher salt
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 3/4 cup Sriracha chile sauce
- 1 1/2 sticks (12 tablespoons) unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 cup chopped cilantro
- Finely grated zest and juice of 3 limes
- 3 quarts vegetable oil, for frying
- In a very large bowl, toss the wings with the coriander and cumin seeds, cinnamon, kosher salt and olive oil.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Preheat the oven to 375.
- Spread the wings on 3 large rimmed baking sheets and roast for about 30 minutes, until firm but not cooked through.
- (At this point, if you don't want to fry the wings, you can roast them for 1 hour longer, until crispy and golden.)
- Wash out the bowl.
- Add the Sriracha, butter, cilantro, lime zest and juice.
- In a deep fryer or a very large saucepan, heat the vegetable oil to 375.
- Fry the wings in 4 or 5 batches until golden and crisp, about 5 minutes per batch; drain, shaking off the excess oil.
- As each batch is finished, add the wings to the sauce and toss well.
- Transfer the wings to a platter, leaving the sauce in the bowl for the remaining batches.
- Serve hot.
