Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Chicken wings
- 0.5 cup Cornstarch
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 cups Vegetable oil
- 0.25 cup Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Hoisin sauce
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Sriracha
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, grated

Instructions
Rinse and pat dry the chicken wings with paper towels. Cut them into drumettes and flats, discarding the wing tips if desired.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cornstarch, flour, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs.
Dip each chicken wing piece into the beaten eggs, then coat them evenly in the flour mixture. Place them on a wire rack while you heat the oil.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large frying pan or deep pot over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
Fry the chicken wings in batches for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and fully cooked through. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sriracha, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Stir and let cook for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.
Transfer the fried chicken wings to a large mixing bowl and pour the sauce over the wings. Toss until the wings are fully coated.
Garnish the wings with sesame seeds and sliced green onions. Serve hot and enjoy!
