minutes

Ingredients

  • 2 lbs chicken wings (preferably fresh, for optimal crispiness)
  • 1 cup cornstarch (for that signature crunch)
  • 1/2 cup soy sauce (low sodium recommended, adjust to taste)
  • 2 tbsp rice vinegar (or apple cider vinegar as an alternative)
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil (toasted, for depth of flavor)
  • 3 cloves garlic (minced, more if you’re a garlic lover)
  • 1 inch ginger (grated, for a spicy kick)
  • 2 scallions (thinly sliced, for garnish)
  • 4 cups vegetable oil (or any neutral oil, for frying)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the chicken wings with soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Marinate for at least 30 minutes, or overnight for deeper flavor.
  2. Heat the vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 375°F, ensuring there’s enough oil to fully submerge the wings.
  3. While the oil heats, remove the wings from the marinade and pat dry with paper towels. Toss them in cornstarch until evenly coated, shaking off any excess.
  4. Carefully add the wings to the hot oil in batches, avoiding overcrowding. Fry for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Tip: Maintain the oil temperature around 375°F for even cooking.
  5. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the fried wings to a wire rack or paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
  6. Sprinkle the wings with sliced scallions while still hot, allowing the residual heat to slightly wilt the greens and release their fragrance.

Delightfully crispy on the outside and succulently tender within, these wings are a celebration of contrasts. Serve them atop a bed of steamed jasmine rice or alongside a crisp cucumber salad for a meal that’s as visually appealing as it is delicious.
