The best wings pack flavor into every bite, all the way through. These Bandit wings have flavor and then some. They are marinated overnight, picking up a light soy sauce flavor along with a hint of cumin and chili powder. Sort of southwestern meets Asian.
No Sauce Required
Bandit wings definitely do not require a sauce. You don’t want to hide the fantastic flavors. I did have a little blue cheese dressing on the side for dipping but I used it sparingly. Very sparingly.
Garnishes Are Optional
The original recipe called for garnishing these Bandit wings with black sesame seeds. Apparently they’re as rare as a unicorn here so I went with plain ole ‘normal’ sesame seeds. You get that bit of sesame seed flavor either way. You can order the seeds online, of course.
If you do decide to have a side sauce for dipping, I recommend these little cups. They’re the perfect size for dipping wings!
