Sometimes you just crave chicken wings. Certain situations, environments, and friends seem to bring out the urge. But what if rather than hitting up your local chicken joint you could scratch that itch directly from your own kitchen? We challenged chef Susan Kim to fry up a batch of chicken wings faster than it takes for delivery to arrive. Was she up to the task?

Recipe below:

⅓ cup sugar
⅓ cup white vinegar
⅓ cup water
1 Tbsp. kosher salt
1 lb. daikon, peeled, diced
