Yowsa. Talk about a great flavor combination. The light charcoal and wood smokiness from the Vortex and the spicy umami-ness of chili crisp made me one happy guy. These chili crisp wings using the Vortex really hit the spot. Nothing complicated here. With that first bite my face lit up and I mouthed “Wow. That’s good.” I made these wings three days in a row. Now that’s saying something!
The Whole Chili Crisp. Or Just The Oil.
I tried my chili crisp wings using the Vortex two different ways. Or I added the chili crisp two different ways, I should say. The first time I spooned the mixture over the top, getting a good bit of the chili peppers on each and every wing. A little spicy, the wings were great. Hints of garlic and onion and fermented black beans. Almost soy sauce-like. Just good stuff. Second time, I just used the oil from the jar of chili crisp. More like a wing sauce. Again, delicious. And a little less spicy.
Your flavor experience will vary based on the type of chili crisp you buy. You can also make your own, there are lots of recipes out there for that.
