Tips & Substitutions

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen chicken wings for this recipe?
Yes, you can use frozen chicken wings. Just make sure to thaw them completely before cooking to ensure even frying and flavor absorption. This may take several hours in the refrigerator or a quick defrost in the microwave.
What can I substitute for shoyu if I don't have any?
If you don't have shoyu, you can use regular soy sauce or tamari for a gluten-free option. Adjust the amount slightly based on your taste preference, as some soy sauces can be saltier than others.
How do I make the wings spicier?
To add some heat to your Chicken Wings Oriental, consider mixing in some chili paste or Sriracha sauce to the sauce mixture. You can also sprinkle crushed red pepper flakes over the wings while they cook for an extra kick.
