FAQs:
Can I use chicken drumsticks instead of wings?
Yes, you can substitute chicken drumsticks or thighs for wings, but adjust the cooking time accordingly. Drumsticks will take longer to cook, about 15-18 minutes when frying.
What type of starch is best for frying?
Cornstarch or potato starch both work well for making the wings extra crispy. If you don’t have either, all-purpose flour can also be used, but it might not be as crispy.
How can I make the sauce spicier?
To add a spicy kick, you can add chili flakes, sriracha, or a dash of hot sauce to the honey lemon sauce.
Can I make the wings in advance?
You can prepare the wings ahead of time by frying them, letting them cool, and storing them in the fridge. Just reheat them in the oven and toss them in the sauce before serving.
What other dipping sauces pair well with these wings?
Ranch dressing, blue cheese dip, or even a spicy sriracha mayo would complement the flavors of the wings.
