INSTRUCTIONS
  1. In bowl, mix together water, rice vinegar, sugar, ketchup, soy sauce and hot sauce. Set aside.

  5. Add slurry and butter to the pan to create a thick and glossy sauce.
  6. Turn off heat and set aside to cool.
  7. Preheat the oven for 250. Let wings rest at room temp for 30 min.
  8. While the oven preheats, prepare a pot with oil and bring it to 375F.
  9. Add rested wings to large bowl and season generously with salt and pepper.
  10. Prepare a separate bowl with cornstarch for dredging.
  11. In batches, dredge wings evenly, shaking off excess and fry for 10-12 min, or until golden brown and temping internally at 165F.
  12. Rest finished wings on a sheet pan with a wire rack in the oven to keep warm while you continue frying.
  13. Wings from the oven can then get tossed generously with the “Sweet and Sour Buffalo Sauce” previously set aside.
  14. Garnish with sesame seeds and scallions and serve hot.
