If you can't (or shouldn't) handle hot-and-spicy wings, well, here's a really good alternative. They do take a little time to put together, but most non-Buffalo-style do.

If you can't (or shouldn't) handle hot-and-spicy wings, well, here's a really good alternative. They do take a little time to put together, but most non-Buffalo-style do. The results you will find are well worth the effort. So if you've got a few yard birds hanging around that need their wings clipped, try this one out! PS: Leaving out the (real) butter from the frying makes a huge difference in the final flavor, so fight that urge to do that!

Ingredients
Serves: 4
3 to 4 poundschicken wings, sectioned
2large eggs, beaten
1 cupall-purpose flour
1/2 cupsalted butter
1/4 cupcanola or vegetable oil
For the sauce:
6 tablespoonslow sodium soy sauce
6 tablespoonswater
1 teaspoonsesame oil
1 cuppacked light brown sugar
1 tablespooncornstarch
3/4 cuprice wine vinegar
1/4 teaspoondried ground ginger
1/2 teaspoongarlic powder
1 teaspoonkosher salt (none if using regular-sodium soy sauce!)
For garnish:
2green onions, chopped fine
2 tablespoonssesame seeds (toasted would be nice!)
Adjust an oven rack to the center position and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a rimmed bakign sheet or 9x13-inch baking dish with heavy duty aluminum foil.
2.
Dip the wing pieces in your egg and then coat them with flour. Let them rest for 5 minutes on a rack.
3.
In a large deep skillet over medium-high heat, melt the butter in the oil. Once the butter stops sizzling, fry the wing pieces until they are a deep brown, about 5 minutes per side. Place the fried wings in on your prepared baking sheet.
4.
Meanwhile, in a small saucepan over medium heat, whisk together the soy sauce, water, sesame oil, brown sugar, vinegar, cornstarch, ginger, garlic powder,and salt. Bring the sauce up to a boil to thicken it a little. Spoon a little of the sauce over the wing pieces. Save most of the sauce for basting and dipping.
5.
Bake the wings in your preheated oven for 30 to 45 minutes, basting the wings with sauce every 10 minutes. Garnish the wings with green onions and sesame seeds and serve, passing any remaining sauce.
Note:
A couple pounds of strips of chicken breast, pork, beef or fish may be used instead of the wings if desired.
I'll try to be subtle about these wings since I'm the originator of the recipe . They are the BEST asian-type chicken wings ever! They do take a little work, but are soooo worth it!
