We love Mission Chinese wings and we're so excited to see that the Chonqing Chicken Wings are included in the new Mission Chinese Cookbook! They're made with Szechuan peppercorns that give your tongue a tingly numbing sensation. We first tried Szechuan peppercorns on squab from Next in Chicago, so we were excited to try these chicken wings.

To make the process a little quicker, we like to double fry our wings immediately.To grind the spices, you can use a mortar and pestle or try a pepper grinder. If you use the pepper grinder, make sure to break up everything into small pieces. If you don't have the capacity or energy to fry wings, you could make the spice and put it on plain fried chicken - however, if you make the effort you will be greatly rewarded. We made these for friends and they were quickly gobbled up! If you live in San Francisco or New York you may even be able to get them delivered.
