Soak the chicken wings in 1 cup vinegar for about 1 hour to remove blood.

Drain the wings and dry them thoroughly.

Add 1 teaspoon salt and 1 tablespoon chili sauce to the wings and mix well.

Heat a frying pan on the stove until smoke starts to come out.

Place a grill over the frying pan and add the wings.

Cover the wings and cook for about 3 minutes on one side until lightly golden.

Flip the wings and cook for another 3 minutes on the other side.

Repeat flipping every 3 minutes until the wings are fully cooked, approximately 9 minutes total.

Turn off the heat when the wings are golden and smoky without any oiling or coloring added.

In a separate pan, melt 1 tablespoon butter and add 2 tablespoons oil.

Add 4 tablespoons hot sauce, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, and 3 tablespoons water to the melted butter.

Cook the sauce on low flame, making sure it does not thicken too much, until well combined.

Add 1 teaspoon paprika powder, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon white pepper to the sauce and mix well.

Toss the cooked wings in the sauce until well coated, adding 1 tablespoon honey for sweetness.

Serve the wings hot.
