Honey-Togarashi Chicken Wings

We tried a new wing recipe for the games last night. We did an adaptation of Nick Balla's Honey-Togarashi Chicken Wings. These wings are coated in rice flour, with the idea that the crust will stand up to the sauce - Let's see what happens!

We started out by toasting some rice - Get it hot and just smoking - We then ground it up in the spice grinder

Next we got the sauce ready - It's honey - lime - fish sauce thing with Serrano peppers & ichimi togarashi pepper. That's sounding promising!

The wings were soaked over night in buttermilk - Next to them, the sauce.

Coat the wings in the rice flour - There is also corn starch added

On to the WSM to first bake the wings - I wasn't sure what the call here was - leave them on the trays, or stick them on the rack - I tossed a couple on the racks- to test - I think the trays was the right move. I had the WSM cranked up pretty good about 325-350

After baking the wings for about 40 minutes - they got dunked in the boiling caldron of peanut oil -

about 3 minutes in the oil, then tossed in the sauce and topped with cilentro and mint leaves- These were certainly tasty!
 
Great looking wings! The plated pic is awesome!!! I'll take mine with a nice cold beer and some siracha.
 
They look great! I love all the step-by-step. They look crunchy to me, but I second Todd NC's question....how'd they turn out? Super crunchy?
 
thanks everyone - very kind...

duh, I forgot the most important part! Yes, the rice flour held up to the sauce, and the were super crunchy!
 
There have been plenty of great wing postings on here, but you have raised the bar even higher with these wings. Flavor profile sounds crazy good.
