Step-by-Step Instructions
Follow each step to make the recipe successfully.
Prepare Chicken Wings
Wash the chicken wings in water and drain them well. Remove any remaining moisture with a kitchen towel. Poke the boneless parts of the chicken wings with a fork about twice to allow better seasoning.
Season Chicken Wings
Place the chicken wings in a bowl. Add about 3 pinches of salt and 2 pinches of black pepper. Mix well to ensure even seasoning. Let the chicken rest for about .
Prepare Honey Soy Garlic Sauce
In a separate bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 2 tablespoons of cooking wine, 1 tablespoon of vinegar, 1 tablespoon of water, 1 tablespoon of sugar, 3 tablespoons of honey or corn syrup, 1/2 tablespoon of garlic, a bit of ginger juice (from ginger), and some black pepper. Mix until well combined.
Coat Chicken Wings
After the 10-minute resting period, transfer the seasoned chicken wings into a plastic bag or Ziploc bag. Add 5 tablespoons of potato starch to the bag. Tie the end of the bag well and shake it vigorously to evenly coat the chicken wings with potato starch.
First Fry
Pour 1 cup of cooking oil into a preheated pan. To check the oil temperature, dip the end of a coated chicken wing into the oil; if bubbles form, the oil is ready. Place the chicken wings in the pan, starting on high heat and then lowering to medium heat. Fry for about until golden brown, flipping occasionally. Use a splatter screen to avoid oil splashes.
Remove and Cool
Once the chicken is golden brown on both sides, remove it from the pan and let it cool briefly.
Simmer Sauce
Pour the prepared honey soy garlic sauce into a preheated pan. the sauce for about until it starts boiling and thickens slightly.
Combine Chicken and Sauce
Once the sauce starts boiling, add the fried chicken wings to the pan. Mix well to evenly coat all the chicken wings with the sauce.
