Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 lbs Chicken wings
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons Baking powder
- 2 cups Avocado oil
- 0.25 cup Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Chili paste
- 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Stevia or erythritol sweetener
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
- 2 tablespoons Green onions, chopped
Instructions
Pat the chicken wings dry using paper towels and place them in a large bowl.
Season the wings with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder, then sprinkle with baking powder to ensure extra crispiness and mix well to coat evenly.
Heat the avocado oil in a large, deep frying pan or pot over medium-high heat.
Once the oil has reached a temperature of 350°F (180°C), fry the chicken wings in batches to avoid overcrowding, cooking them for about 8-10 minutes per batch until golden brown and crispy.
Transfer the fried chicken wings to a wire rack or a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
For the sauce, combine soy sauce, rice vinegar, chili paste, grated ginger, minced garlic, and the stevia or erythritol sweetener in a small saucepan.
Bring the sauce mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until it slightly thickens, for about 4-5 minutes.
Place the drained chicken wings in a large clean bowl, then pour the thickened sauce over the wings. Toss gently to coat the chicken thoroughly with the sauce.
Serve the sugar-free Korean fried chicken hot, garnished with sesame seeds and chopped green onions.
