1. Asian Glazed Wings 

Ingredients 

• 10 pounds chicken wings, split – SGC# 211413

• 1/4 cup coriander seeds, crushed – SGC# 191731

• 1 teaspoon cumin – SGC# 171561

• 1 teaspoon cinnamon – SGC# 171521

• 2 tablespoons kosher salt – SGC# 052100

• 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil – SGC# 065312 

• 3/4 cup Sriracha chile sauce – SGC# 487030

• 1 1/2 sticks (12 tablespoons) unsalted butter, melted – SGC# 054130

• 1/2 cup chopped cilantro – SGC# 169672 

• Finely grated zest and juice of 3 limes – SGC# 192625 

• 3 quarts frying oil – SGC# 054304

Directions 

1. 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. 

2. 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. 

3. In a deep fryer or a very large saucepan, heat the vegetable oil to 375°. 

4. 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.

Arrange the wings on a wire rack set over a large, sturdy baking sheet. Broil for 45 to 50 minutes, turning once or twice, until the wings are cooked through and crisp. 

2. Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, combine the vinegar and crushed red pepper and simmer for 1 minute. Let cool, then whisk in the honey and soy sauce. 

3. In a large bowl, carefully toss the chicken wings with the honey-soy mixture. Transfer the wings to a platter, sprinkle with the green onions and serve.

• Kosher salt, to taste – SGC# 052100

Directions 

Make the chicken wings: 

1. Sprinkle chicken all over with salt and pepper. Transfer chicken to a large ziplock plastic bag; add onion, garlic, soy sauce, vinegar, oil, and bay leaves. Seal bag, and toss mixture to combine evenly. Marinate chicken mixture in the refrigerator at least 8 hours or up to 1 day. 
    
2. Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil. Lightly coat an oven-safe wire rack with cooking spray, and set in baking sheet. Remove chicken wings from marinade, scraping off excess, and transfer to a paper towel-lined plate; pat dry. Reserve marinade in bag. Arrange wings at least 1/4 inch apart on a prepared wire rack. Roast in preheated oven until browned and crisp and a thermometer inserted in thickest portion of meat registers at least 165°F, 45 to 50 minutes, flipping wings after 25 minutes. 
    
3. Meanwhile, bring reserved marinade to a boil in a small saucepan over medium. Boil, stirring occasionally until liquid is slightly thickened and reduced to about 3 tablespoons, 14 to 16 minutes. Pour mixture through a fine wire-mesh strainer set over a large bowl; discard solids. Set reduced marinade aside.  

While chicken wings bake, make the Filipino pico:

1. Reserve 1 tablespoon scallions, 1 tablespoon cilantro, and a few slices of serrano for garnish; set aside. Stir together tomatoes and remaining scallions, cilantro, and serrano in a medium bowl. Stir in fish sauce, and season to taste with salt. Set aside. 
    
2. Add chicken wings to bowl with reduced marinade, and toss to coat. Transfer to a platter, and garnish with reserved scallions, cilantro, and serrano. Sprinkle evenly with fried garlic. Serve immediately.
