Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 lbs chicken wings
- 0.25 cup soy sauce
- 0.25 cup honey
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoon red chili flakes
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
- 2 stalks green onions, sliced
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 2 cups neutral oil for frying (e.g., vegetable oil)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels and place them in a large bowl. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper, tossing to coat evenly. Set aside.
In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, sesame oil, rice vinegar, and red chili flakes. Stir until well mixed. This will be the glaze for the chicken wings.
In another small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Set aside for thickening the sauce later.
Heat the neutral oil in a large, deep skillet or pot over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Alternatively, use a deep fryer.
Fry the chicken wings in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot, for about 10-12 minutes or until they are golden brown and fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F or 74°C). Remove and drain on a wire rack lined with paper towels.
In a separate large pan or wok, pour the prepared glaze and bring it to a simmer over medium heat. Stir occasionally.
Once the glaze begins to simmer, reduce the heat to low and add the cornstarch slurry a little at a time. Stir constantly until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency.
Add the fried chicken wings to the wok and toss them gently in the glaze, ensuring they are fully coated.
Transfer the glazed chicken wings to a serving dish. Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds for added flavor and presentation.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Chicken Wings Oriental!
