Visit my other site, For The Wing, for all things chicken-wing!

The first time I tried the Thai Curry Wings at Buffalo Wild Wings I was blown away. It was in West Chester, Ohio, and I remember it like it was yesterday because I absolutely loved the combination of coconut, curry and just a bit of heat. I could’ve just licked the sauce off the wings, but then we were in a public place and that would’ve been awkward. Ever since I’ve been looking for a version of BW3’s sauce, and here it is. The perfect copycat Buffalo Wild Wings Thai Curry wings. Now I can lick the sauce off the wings in the privacy of my own home!

Copycat Buffalo Wild Wings Thai Curry Wings

I could not find Thai chile peppers in our supermarket, so I had to go to plan B. I picked up a few packages of dried cayenne peppers, reconstituted them, and chopped them up. It was a great save. These Copycat Buffalo Wild Wings Thai Curry wings came out fantastic.

I found the Shan chicken white karahi mix in the Pakistani section of our international supermarket. If you can’t find it nearby you can always order it online.

I store my homemade sauces in squeeze bottles. If refrigerated, I set them out thirty minutes to an hour before using so they come to room temperature. You don’t want to put cold sauce on hot food!

Equipment

Saucepan

Ingredients

3-4 pounds chicken wings flats and drumettes separated, tips discarded
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
kosher salt to taste
freshly ground black pepper

For the Wing Sauce

12-24 Thai peppers see my note
5 ounces green pepper Tabasco sauce
8 ounces unsweetened light coconut milk
½ cup lime juice
½ cup non-fat plain yogurt
¼ cup ginger paste more or less, to taste
2 packages Shan chicken white karahi mix found in the Pakistani section of your grocery store

Instructions

Place wings in a large resealable baggie or container.
Add the oil, salt and pepper. Seal and toss to coat.
Refrigerate for 1-4 hours.
Cook wings as desired. Click here for our guide on cooking wings in a grill, smoker, deep fryer, oven, or a Char-Broil Big Easy.
Toss wings with sauce before serving.

For the sauce (start cooking when you start the wings)

Mince the peppers and then pound in a mortar and pestle or grind into a paste using the side of a knife blade. You want the peppers to form a paste.
Place the peppers and remaining ingredients into a saucepan over medium heat.
Stir until the ingredients are combined.
Reduce heat to a simmer and continue simmering, stirring occasionally, while the wings are cooking. You want the sauce to thicken slightly.

Notes

NOTE: I could not find Thai peppers at our grocery store. You can substitute jalapenos or serranos for more heat. Preferably you want to use a red pepper. I bought dried cayenne peppers, which I then reconstituted in hot water for 1 hour. I then removed the seeds and minced the peppers into a paste.
