Ingredients
The following ingredients have 5 Servings
- 2 1/2 pounds chicken wings (tips clipped off and discarded, and wings cut at the joints, washed and pat dry)
- 1 cup Wondra flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon pepper
- Neutral oil, as needed for frying
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup thin-sliced ginger, peeled
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup rice vinegar (or white vinegar)
- 2 tablespoons honey or corn syrup
- 1 to 2 tablespoons chile flakes or Korean fermented chile
- 1 to 2 tablespoons toasted sesame, to serve (optional)
Instruction
- In a mixing bowl, combine Wondra flour, salt, and pepper. Dredge the prepared and rinsed chicken wings in the flour mixture to get a fine light coat.
- Heat some cooking oil in a deep fryer or a deep frying pan to about 350° F. Fry chicken wings, in batches if necessary, about 5 min each until cooked through. Remove, and shake any excess flour off and allow to cool.
- In a small saucepan, add the water, ginger, soy sauce, vinegar, and sugar and bring to boil. Then add the honeyand chile and reduce by half until it has a thick maple syrup-like consistency and set aside.
- Re-fry the wings until crispy golden-brown, about another 5 to 8 minutes. Drain on frying rack or paper towels. Dredge or brush on the spicy soy ginger glaze. Top with sesame seeds to serve, if desired.
