To make the spicy sauce:
- In a small pot, whisk together the batch No. 5 Buffalo Wing Sauce, brown sugar, soy sauce, rice vinegar, minced garlic, black pepper and salt.
- Bring the sauce to a simmer and cook over low heat for 5 minutes.
- Set the sauce aside until needed.
To make the chicken wings:
- Preheat the oven to 180°C.
- Lay the chicken wings in a baking tray and season them with salt and pepper.
- Place the tray with wings into the oven, ensuring that the wings are separated and not touching each other. Cook the wings for 6 minutes.
- After 6 minutes, turn the wings over and cook for another 6 minutes.
- Flip the wings over again and brush them generously with the spicy sauce. Cook for a further two minutes.
- Flip the wings over once more, brush them with more spicy sauce, and cook for another minute.
- Transfer the cooked wings into a bowl and pour the remaining spicy sauce over them.
- Place the sesame seeds in a dry pan over medium heat (no oil).
- Heat the seeds while shaking the pan and often swirling them with a wooden spoon.
- Stir until the sesame seeds become fragrant and golden brown (approximately 3 minutes).
- Remove the pan immediately from the heat and transfer the seeds to a cold surface.
- Ensure that both types of sesame seeds are mixed together after they have cooled.
ASSEMBLY:
- Sprinkle the toasted sesame seeds and sliced shallots over the spicy chicken wings.
- Serve with batch No. 5 Free Range Ranch Dressing.
