Close view of peppery fried chicken wings piled on a plate.

Nagoya Tebasaki

Japan · East Asia

Short description
These wings are prized for a crisp exterior, sweet-savory glaze, and a sharp pepper finish.
Ingredients
Fried chicken wings seasoned with soy sauce, sugar, garlic, white pepper, sesame seeds, and oil.
Cultural note
The dry, snackable style makes the wings easy to share at a table, especially with drinks.
Common misconception
They are not saucy buffalo-style wings; the seasoning clings in a thinner, peppery coating.
