Salt and pepper chicken wings, or what we call 椒盐鸡翅, is a popular dish in Chinese restaurants. Jiaoyan is one of the 24 classic flavor types in Sichuan cuisine. Its character includes 咸香酥麻, which means salty, fragrant, crispy, and numbing. I know you have probably ordered these wings many times but what I am sharing is an authentic recipe that is different than the restaurant-made and it is addictively delicious that I can devour day and night. You will be blown away by its juicy and succulent meat. I will also explain many techniques in this video; once you learn, you can make salt and pepper anything. The crispy sound is music to ears. I can listen to it all day. Take a bite. This is the perfect appetizer for weekend gatherings, parties, or big game days.

👍👍👍👍👍👍 . Hi Mandy ! Thanks for the delicious recipe and how to make them crispy. I might add that you were Extra Pretty today.
you can leave out the wine it alters the taste to be like road kill. I can't subscribe to a channel that uses alcohol in cooking unless they have a substitute .
What about the hard black seeds in that pepper corns. I spent about an hr separating the seeds out before grinding
The only problem I foresee with this recipe is how to avoid eating all the wings by myself after cooking them 😋
Mandy, you never disappoint!
this show allows me to learn the correct chinese name of something in chinese, and say it correctly while insisting on speaking mandarin with a texas twang. sounds crazy i either get confused looks or compliments sometimes both lol now lets cook up some ji chi yall
Thank you — I am onto it now
That's a lot of work. Fry, then refry? Thank you.
I used to order salt and pepper calamari on a weekly basis back in California, but they don't seem to know this recipe in the UK Midlands! Can't wait to try this recipe…
Your recipes are the best never fails making your recipes you are the best
Thanks for the video 👍🏻
Thank you very much for the alcohol-free substitute!
I remember salt and pepper shrimp back in my NYC days.. soooooo good. Thanks, Mandy!!
Spectacular! You are a culinary master. Thank you for a thousand years of history in a bite. Do the Chinese use Turmeric, and if so where is it used.
@Mandy Thank you! It has been years since I've had salt and pepper chicken ever since I moved from Miami there was only one restaurant called Gold China that made it but sadly they're no longer around. I have tried to replicate it but never the same taste as theirs again thank you for this recipe I will attempt in the near future. 🤤I'm drooling already.
I love ur recipes. I do enjoy ur videos. I love how u go into details and explain step by step and no annoying back music. Ty for sharing. Keep up the great work. Continued blessings to you
love you Mindy don't ever change.
I'm glad you spoke about thighs as an alternative. Wings have had a weirdly positive international reputation in recent years after being the throw away cut for a long time. It's good that they are fashionable as it reduces food waste but they aren't that cheap anymore.
Sounds delicious!
Your passion for cooking always inspires. Waiting for your recipes on the khal.

Delicious
your recipes always look and sound so appetizing. What do you do with the oil though?
Can I use an air fryer instead?
I really enjoy your videos. I've learned more about cooking on a wok than any other channel. So I have a question. Could you do the first fry the day before? That would be a great time saver the day you serve them. One more thing I say with respect. Your very cute and have a great voice and spirit. Have a great day. 😊
It looks stunning and I believe this version should be on menus everywhere be it cafe, Restaurant, pub, diner, teahouse and beyond. Suffice to say that last step you mentioned is optional clearly adds a dimension. Recently saw "The Streets: Hong Kong" with Dan Hong on SBS Australia and some of the offerings by some Hong Kong institutions that are wildly popular remind of your dishes. Yours has to be arguably the best Chinese food channel on Youtube and there are some great ones. Cheers & please keep dealing in the delectable. 🙂
Great work,always a pleasure to watch.
This is a must to try. Excellent recipe as always. And so well explained and demonstrated! 💕
Those look so good.
❤
There you go again….wish you lived next to me! I would spend my days doing any type of work you needed around the house. Now being serious, love all of your recipes. As a chef I appreciate your approach to cooking. Still a man can have dreams. Thanks for sharing your time.🖤
Where did you get that spice grinder?
Wow, what a wonderful video! The authentic salt and pepper chicken wings look simply irresistible. The way you detail the preparation and highlight the flavors is amazing. I loved the theory and the passion for this delicious recipe. Congratulations for the excellent work and for sharing this wonder with us! 😍😍
1:53 Oooooo, where can I find one of those? Most times I use the small holes on a box grater, but this would be perfect for grating harder roots like horseradish.
What a fantastic video! The authentic salt and pepper chicken wings look absolutely irresistible. The way you explained the process and detailed the ingredients was amazing. I loved every moment and I look forward to trying this delicious recipe. Congratulations on the excellent production and culinary creativity! 😍😍
Thank you so much for the alcohol substitute, much appreciated!
If it's not too much of a hassle, can you please include gram measurements in your recipes?
OMG YUMMY 😋!!! I can’t wait to try this!!!
this looks amazing, I'm gonna cook it – love this dish from takeaways
I will say again,she should have her own show on food network or cook ch
what type of oil do you use?
👍🏼😋 You are the best!❤❤❤
Зачем засирать контейнер если это можно сделать в пакете?
Looks delicious!
You should switch to avocado oil, because vegetable oils are extremely bad for your health. Avocado oil also has the benefit of having a higher smoke point. With that said, I save all my avocado frying oil with the animal fats rendered into it for use in my next frying project.
