Mala Buffalo Sauce

In a saucepan over medium heat, brown the butter until the milk solids are golden and the butter smells nutty.

Add the doubanjiang, chili flakes, and sichuan peppercorns, and fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant and the butter has turned a deep red.

Add the hot sauce, black vinegar, honey/maltose, scallion, garlic, ginger.

Turn off the heat and whisk in the sichuan peppercorn oil.

Ginger Scallion Ranch

Combine the scallions, ginger, and salt.

Heat the neutral oil until the smoking point and pour over the ginger scallion mix.

Combine the kewpie, sour cream, buttermilk, apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, msg, and the ginger scallion sauce.

Cook and Serve

To air fry, spritz the wings with a spray of oil and air fry at 400 F for about 12-15 minutes until crisp all over.

To fry, fill a deep pot about halfway with neutral oil and heat to 300 F. Fry for about 5-7minutes until the wings are just about cooked and lightly browned.

Let drain on a wire rack for at least 10 minutes. You can even chill the wings down and fry up to 2 days later for even crispier skin.

Heat the oil to 350 F and fry for another 3-4 minutes until golden and crispy.

Coat in the mall buffalo sauce and serve with the ginger scallion ranch.
