Taiwanese Fried Wings with Creamy Green Sauce

By Tiffy Cooks

No ratings yet
I have 2 different methods of making Taiwanese Fried Chicken Wings: deep fried AND air fried. I pair this classic Taiwanese flavor with a creamy green Cilantro Yogurt sauce. This is an easy and affordable party dish made with ingredients that you can find at your local supermarket.

Notes

The batter is gluten free, but for a fully gluten-free recipe, replace the soy sauce with gluten-free soy sauce or tamari. 
If you prefer a non-spicy sauce, leave out jalapeno while making the sauce.
