Step-by-Step Instructions

1. 1.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.

2. 2.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 10 minutes.

3. 3.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 minced garlic, a bit of ginger juice (from minced ginger), and some black pepper. Mix until well combined.

4. 4.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.

5. 5.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 8 minutes until golden brown, flipping occasionally. Use a splatter screen to avoid oil splashes.

6. 6.Remove and Cool

   Once the chicken is golden brown on both sides, remove it from the pan and let it cool briefly.

7. 7.Simmer Sauce

   Pour the prepared honey soy garlic sauce into a preheated pan. Simmer the sauce for about 1-2 minutes until it starts boiling and thickens slightly.

8. 8.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.

9. 9.Serve

   Turn off the heat and serve the savory and delicious fried chicken on a plate.
