Ingredients
For the Chicken Wings:
- 1½ lbs chicken wings
- 2 tbsp oil
- Salt & pepper to taste
- ½ cup hot sauce (Frank’s RedHot or your favorite)
- 2 tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp butter
- 1 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
For the Ramen Bowl:
- 2 packs ramen noodles (discard seasoning packets)
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp chili paste (Sambal Oelek or gochujang)
- 2 tsp sesame oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp grated ginger
- ½ tsp smoked paprika
- 1 cup shredded carrots or cabbage
- 2 green onions, sliced
- Soft boiled eggs, for topping
- Lime wedges & sesame seeds, for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the Wings: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss the chicken wings with oil, salt, and pepper ensuring they are evenly coated. Arrange the wings on a baking sheet and bake for 40–45 minutes until they are crispy and cooked through. Alternatively, you can air-fry the wings at 400°F for 25 minutes for a quicker method with similar results.
- Make the Wing Sauce: In a saucepan, combine hot sauce, honey, soy sauce, butter, and crushed red pepper flakes if using. Heat gently until the mixture is bubbly and well combined. Toss the freshly baked wings in this sauce until fully coated and flavorful.
- Prepare the Ramen Broth: In a large pot, warm the sesame oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger and sauté until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes. Stir in the chicken broth, soy sauce, chili paste, and smoked paprika. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer to meld the flavors together.
- Cook the Noodles: Add the ramen noodles directly into the simmering broth. Cook them for 3–4 minutes, or until they are tender but still have a slight bite. Add shredded carrots or cabbage in the last minute of cooking to soften slightly while retaining some crunch.
- Assemble the Bowl: Divide the cooked noodles and broth among serving bowls. Top each bowl with several crispy, sauced chicken wings, halved soft boiled eggs, and sliced green onions. Garnish with a squeeze of fresh lime juice and a sprinkle of sesame seeds before serving hot for maximum flavor and comfort.
Notes
- Keep the wings crisp by saucing them just before serving to prevent sogginess.
- For a creamier broth, stir in a splash of coconut milk or a teaspoon of peanut butter to add richness and depth.
- Adjust the spice level by starting with half the chili paste and adding more to suit your heat preference.
