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.

I will say again,she should have her own show on food network or cook ch

[@freedomforever1962]

pbs chefs 🎉 Mandys a winner and we love her, her cooking and her presence on yt. 😘

[@omarpadilla4739]

Disagree. On account of I don't do network Tele. 😅

[@user-ft5ux3fb3b]

Who watches that anyway?

[@dougblalock5175]

That salt and pepper combo is beyond delicious! I’ve been using this ever since you first posted it years ago. Best Chinese recipes on the internet! Can’t for the cookbook.

[@phillippotee1910]

I love everything this women makes. I’ve made so many of her recipes, and this will be another one. Thank you again!!!!

[@sabasharma2047]

Ditto

[@overseastom]

Mandy's the best.

[@gabrieldartemius9940]

I love your recipes SO MUCH. And it's not just because you have such amazing ones, but because of the insights you give to cooking different dishes or using techniques. I've always struggled with frying coated things, because my coating always comes loose, so the fact you let it rest to get the flour to bond with the food is mind-blowing to me, as I've always coated the food just before I fry it. Now everything makes sense. I feel like I get better at cooking in general, not just at cooking Chinese food, by watching your videos, and it's magical. Thank you for teaching us what you know!!! (So far, my favourite recipe of yours has been the lionhead meatballs, but I can see this spice mix and the trick of coating the outside of fried foods with it maybe surpassing them). Have a great day!!!!

[@victorpena9824]

Mandy, Been watching you for a while and you never disappoint! I've traveled to China, 4 or 5 times over the years for business. Your recipes bring me back to those times and the foods I have eaten in China. I remember my Chinese coworkers and the hospitality they provided me (especially when we all sat together for dinner). I enjoy your recipes and as always: Love from Texas. ❤

[@gnomevoyeur]

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.

[@lylyluvda916]

Salt and pepper anything is so good!

[@angelstarr5509]

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

[@SoupedUpRecipes]

Thanks so much 😊

[@anthonydaniel9534]

Oooh, chicken wings are my favorite, and I'm always looking for new recipes!! Thank you, Mandy!! You're the best!!

[@yoakumo]

I love your channel! My husband is Chinese so I need these recipes 💕 thank you!!

[@bollyBob1980]

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 KZbin and there are some great ones. Cheers & please keep dealing in the delectable. 🙂

[@drakdragon]

Love the recipe, gonna have to try making it this weekend. Sidenote, the video title "(I can devour day and night)" didn't realize you're a consumer of realities in addition to a good cook 😂😂😂

[@hades1312]

Galactus cooking wings now 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@AnasRecipesofc]

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! 😍😍

[@Optionalize]

Every recipe you show is a hit! Thank you! Love how you explained it is not N. American style "salt and pepper".

[@despinoza0391]

🤤 I can’t wait to make this recipe! Thank you for reducing plastic waste.

[@heathersibley3636]

I made these wings last night. I actually made 2 different recipes for salt and pepper wings to compare. This one blew the other one away. The other recipe was a more mainstream American recipe and did not have the amazing flavor of this one. The all purpose flour and cornstarch combo here was the perfect crunch. The other recipe used potato starch which was an even thicker, crunchier wing, but it was actually too much. Will use this recipe and the salt and pepper seasoning over and over again.

[@jesseperkins9669]

Since i first saw this in one of your other videos, the sichuan pepper blend has been my go-to seasoning for anything crispy or fried. It is even amazing on pizza

[@AllyCakes12]

Why do I love the kitchen tools you're using lol

[@All-DayRecipes]

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! 😍😍

[@didisinclair3605]

I remember salt and pepper shrimp back in my NYC days.. soooooo good. Thanks, Mandy!!

[@SnowS162]

It looks delicious and I like how you bit into it and I heard the crunch 😅. You're making me hungry...😋 😊

[@m53goldsmith]

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...

[@susieangelo6410]

Thanks, Mandy for another Awesome and Delightful Recipe with all your Helpful Tips. Now, we all can easily make them at home and save so money from buying them in a restaurant.

[@intissarchahine5049]

[@BaconPraline]

Perfect, I was just looking for a recipe for this

[@jyenswallow]

Thanks, Mandy for explaining the science behind the steps. It makes it easier to understand why it worked or didn't work. I have a packet of this seasoning but didn't know what to do with it. Now I know haha. Gonna get some wings now. 😋

[@charaznable8072]

This is great drinking food.

[@Jackietreehorn39]

I love this lady and her recipes 😋

[@jamarwashington6419]

I always wondered how to get fried food that crunchy. She really explained it very well, thank you. I never know what to do with my old Sichuan pepper corns i bought so i will make this season powder. I think my salt & pepper shrimp will also level up thanks to what i learned. 🙏

[@ashsha7537]

Thank you for the explanation ❤❤ can't wait to make these

[@Righteous1ist]

This dish tastes very good with rice

[@user-co8vc5nd7l]

Oh shiiiiiitttttt meal prep on lock after this thank you ~~~ 😻😻😻

[@fultonyl1]

I can hear the crisp I will try this recipe

[@Sherry.9]

Mandy, your video is awesome! (this is my first) I love the interesting tips you share with the reasons/explanations for the them. Thanks for this wonderful recipe.. It's not easy to get the special Schwann peppercorns where I am but when I lived in China I had my first taste of it... Was immediately hooked! I'm definitely gonna try to this recipe when I get home my hands on them! Thank you for sharing your love of food with us. ❤😊

[@pinkmarshmallow352]

This is a must to try. Excellent recipe as always. And so well explained and demonstrated! 💕

[@SoupedUpRecipes]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@-RONNIE]

Thanks for the video 👍🏻

[@stever456]

So good, a trick I learnt from local takeaway is to use pork Siu Mai. Quick steam then coat the same and deep fry and follow same. I usually cook them with ginger, green chillies, white onion and spring onion. Hmmm so good Asian food make white lives better 😋👍❤️

[@carlosroman8081]

@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.

[@aileetang731]

Love your recipe.

[@sebstream8440]

Sounds delicious!

[@ilikechickenwings100]

Those look so good.

[@DSGLABEL]

Perfect!

[@TheWellnessCuess]

Looks great ! ✨

[@gregphillips.1312]

Beautiful! Chicken looks great too, top Job Mandy ✌❤🙏🥂🇬🇧

[@lulububu721]

I’m not a fan of wings but my family LOVES them!! Yours does look amazing though and that crunch sound makes them very appetizing. I will have to give them a try, it’s not that I don’t like them but it seems like too much work for such a little reward I guess lol. They are very tasty though lol. Many thanks for sharing Mandy, as usual I always love watching and listening to your videos, I find them very informative whether watching, listening or both!! Have a wonderful rest of the week and upcoming weekend!! 🩷 Tina 🩷

[@rafaelsmith5411]

It look soooo delicious Thank you Mandy for recipe. 😊😊👍🏾👍🏾

[@kenbellchambers4577]

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.

[@matthewgroom8689]

this looks amazing, I'm gonna cook it - love this dish from takeaways

[@brightfaith8403]

Looks so good!

[@GBR23-ts4lg]

Looks yummy! Although most of my family can’t eat the hot chilies. I know it will change the flavor using red and green bell peppers, however that’s what I’ll used instead. 🙂

[@KevinW.Jenner]

Oh yes. I made her cashew chicken last night. As if the finest household recipe, but restaurant quality. A nephew's fiance wanted Chinese for her birthday. Could not have made better memories paired with fried rice and smashed cucumbers (also Souped Up!). I can't wait to try this particular restaurant favorite, and see how it stacks up. Salt and pepper chicken is the finest penultimate long-night-out drinking and dancing starter. Many of my best nights prove it.

[@victorbenner539]

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. 😊

[@SoupedUpRecipes]

Yes, you can do the first fry the day before and double fry whenever you are ready. You can also freeze the wings after the first fry and double fry whenever youa re ready. No need to defrost, the wings will just take a bit longer to fry since they are frozen.

[@dougtexas9075]

This looks like it would be perfect !!!!!!!!!

[@cdub42]

Fork don't lie! Great recipe :) I'd love to try this sometime!

[@suze204]

I love your recipes!!!!

[@janbundgaard]

Made this an hour ago , succes , also made the Jiaoyan , great flavour , but 1/2 tsp isnt enough 🙂

[@adonian]

Just had it last night. I have MSG on mine, but I'll give this a try, I always wanted to try Sichuan peppers.

[@Lamturnik]

Thank you for the thorough details, Mandy! I would love to know your name😊.

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?

[@SoupedUpRecipes]

I usually do include gram measurements. But this recipe was finished in a rush so I didn't.

[@lecourson8327]

Look so good I will try it
