This Asian wing sauce is savory, gingery, and delicious. We fried some wings for the football game on Sunday and then decided we wanted an Asian-style sauce instead of the norm. Being the experimental type, I concocted this sauce using ingredients I already had and it turned out to be a touchdown recipe!
