Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken wings
- 0.5 cup soy sauce
- 0.5 cup pineapple juice
- 0.25 cup brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon (grated) ginger
- 3 cloves (minced) garlic
- 0.25 cup cornstarch
- 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.25 cup (cold) water
- 4 cups (for frying) vegetable oil
- 2 stalks (thinly sliced, for garnish) green onions
- 1 tablespoon (for garnish) sesame seeds
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, pineapple juice, brown sugar, grated ginger, and minced garlic to make the marinade.
Place the chicken wings in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow dish, and pour the marinade over them. Seal or cover and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight for best flavor.
In a separate bowl, combine cornstarch, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and cold water to create a thick batter.
Drain the chicken wings from the marinade (discard the marinade) and pat them dry with paper towels.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large, deep frying pan or fryer to 350°F (175°C).
Dip each chicken wing into the batter, ensuring it is evenly coated, and carefully add it into the hot oil.
Fry the wings in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan, about 8-10 minutes per batch, until they are golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the wings to a wire rack or paper towels to drain excess oil.
Once all wings are fried, transfer them to a serving platter.
Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds before serving. Enjoy your Maui Fried Chicken Wings!
