Ingredients
Ramen Crusted Wings
- 2 (140-g [5-oz]) packages hot chicken flavor ramen or your favorite, crumbled
- 2 lb (907 g) chicken wings, tips removed, drums and flats separated
- 3 tablespoons (45 ml) sambal oelek (chili paste)
- 2 tablespoons (30 ml) hoisin sauce
Sriracha Ranch Dipping Sauce
- 2 tablespoons (30 ml) sriracha
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) ranch dressing
Serve
- Sesame seeds, for garnish
- 2 tablespoons (12 g) chopped green onion
Directions
Ramen Crusted Wings
- Break apart the ramen noodles into a medium bowl with your hands. The pieces should be small enough that they stick to the wings and big enough that they keep their shape.
- Set aside the liquid sauce and flake packets included in the ramen.
- Prepare an oven-safe baking/cooling rack on top of a lined baking sheet.
- With a paper towel, pat the wings dry. Place the wings in a large mixing bowl and pour the sambal oelek and hoisin sauce over the top. Toss to coat evenly. This will help the ramen noodles stick to the wings.
- Coat each wing in ramen noodles by pressing down and coating each side evenly.
- Place the wings on the prepared baking/cooling rack, evenly spaced.
- Preheat the grill or smoker to 350ºF (180ºC), indirect heat. Place the oven-safe baking/cooling rack with wings directly on grill grates.
- Grill the wings for 40 minutes or until they reach a minimum internal temperature of 165ºF (75ºC), or 190ºF (90ºC) if you like them well done. There is no need to flip the wings.
Sriracha Ranch Dipping Sauce
- In a small bowl, combine the sriracha and ranch dressing.
- Set aside for serving.
Serve
- Pour the contents of the hot sauce packets into a small bowl.
- Plate the wings, brush with hot sauce and garnish them with the provided flakes, sesame seeds and green onion (TIP: Depending on your spice level tolerance, you can omit to brush the hot sauce on the wings).
- Serve them with the Sriracha Ranch Dipping Sauce. Enjoy!
