Description:
Crispy, flavour-packed wings marinated overnight and tossed in a bold, tangy heat blend featuring Valentina and Mama’s signature hot sauce.
⸻
Ingredients
• 2 lbs chicken wings (split, tips removed)
• 1 cup soy sauce (for marinade)
• Oil for frying
Sauce:
• ½ cup Valentina
• ¼ cup classic hot sauce (e.g. Frank’s-style)
• ¼ cup Mama’s Hot Sauce
⸻
Instructions
1. Marinate
Place chicken wings in a bowl or container and fully coat with soy sauce.
Cover and refrigerate overnight (minimum 12 hours) to absorb flavour.
2. Fry
Heat oil to 350°F (175°C).
Remove wings from marinade and let excess drip off.
Fry in batches for 8–10 minutes, or until golden brown, crispy, and fully cooked.
3. Toss in Sauce
In a large bowl, combine Valentina, hot sauce, and Mama’s Hot Sauce.
Add hot, freshly fried wings and toss until fully coated.
4. Serve
Serve immediately while hot and crispy.
⸻
Pro Tips (This is where you level it up)
• Let wings rest 2–3 minutes after frying before tossing → keeps them crispy
• Double fry (optional): fry once, rest 5 min, then fry again for extra crunch
• Add a touch of butter to the sauce if you want a richer, restaurant-style finish

Chef 2K Pro Tips (This is what makes it hit)
• Let it sit overnight — this is non-negotiable if you want restaurant flavour
• Use fresh garlic, not pre-minced — huge difference
• Lightly crush peppercorns instead of grinding them fine for better texture
• If it’s too sharp, balance with a tiny drizzle of honey or a touch more sour cream
