Ingredients
Scale
Chicken Wings
- 3 pounds whole chicken wings, cut at the knuckle into drums and flats
- 1 tbsp avocado oil
- 1 tbsp SPG (salt, pepper, garlic seasoning)
- 2 tbsp Korean BBQ rub
- ½ cup Hot & Spicy Bachan’s sauce
- Toasted white sesame seeds, for garnish
Fried Rice
- 1 large onion, diced
- 1 pack frozen peas and carrots
- 4 cups cooked day-old rice
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter
- ½ cup green onions, sliced
- 4 large eggs
Bachan’s Mayo Sauce
- 1 cup mayo
- ¼ cup water
- 1 tbsp ketchup
- 1 tsp sugar
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp smoked paprika
Instructions
- Preheat the griddle: Heat your griddle to medium-high heat to ensure it is ready for cooking the wings and vegetables evenly.
- Prepare wings: Cut the whole chicken wings at the knuckle to separate the drums from the flats; this allows for even cooking.
- Season wings: Place the wings in a bowl, drizzle with avocado oil, then sprinkle with SPG and Korean BBQ rub. Mix well to coat all pieces evenly.
- Cook wings on griddle: Lay the seasoned wings flat on the hot griddle. Flip them every 3 minutes to cook evenly until they reach an internal temperature of 185°F for safe consumption and perfect texture.
- Cook vegetables: While wings cook, add the diced onion, frozen peas, and carrots to the griddle and sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened and fragrant.
- Make fried rice base: Add the butter, sliced green onions, and day-old cooked rice on top of the sautéed vegetables. Drizzle Hot & Spicy Bachan’s sauce over the mixture, then stir to combine flavors thoroughly.
- Scramble eggs: On the griddle, crack and scramble the eggs separately. Once cooked, mix the scrambled eggs into the rice and vegetable mixture to complete the fried rice.
- Finish wings with sauce: Just before the wings are done, drizzle additional Bachan’s sauce on top and toss to coat, helping the sauce caramelize and add an extra layer of flavor.
- Plate and garnish: Serve the caramelized wings alongside a generous portion of the flavorful fried rice. Sprinkle toasted white sesame seeds over the wings and rice for a final touch and enjoy!
Notes
- Using day-old rice is key to achieving the best texture for fried rice, as it prevents clumping.
- Ensure wings reach 185°F internal temperature to be fully cooked and tender.
- Adjust the amount of Bachan’s sauce according to your spice preference.
- Can be served with a side of pickled vegetables for added crunch and acidity.
- For a gluten-free option, verify all seasoning blends and sauces are certified gluten-free.
