Yield Serves 6 as an hors d'oeuvre or 4 as a main course

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 pounds chicken wings (12 to 14)
1 onion
a 1 1/2-inch piece peeled fresh gingerroot
2 tablespoons soy sauce (preferably Kikkoman)
1‚ tablespoons medium-dry Sherry
1 tablespoon Chinese five-spice powder
1 tablespoon sugar
2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon coarse salt
2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper, or to taste
1/2 cup cornstarch
6 cups vegetable oil

Steps:

  • Cut off wing tips, reserving for another use, and halve wings at joint. Coarsely chop onion and finely chop gingerroot. In a large sealable plastic bag combine onion, gingerroot, soy sauce, Sherry, five-spice powder, sugar, and 1 teaspoon salt. Add wings and seal bag, pressing out excess air. Turn bag until wings are completely coated. Marinate chicken wings in bag in a large bowl, chilled, turning bag once, 2 hours.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Transfer wings and marinade to a roasting pan or large shallow baking pan and bake, covered with foil, in middle of oven 1 hour. Cool wings until they can be handled and drain in a colander, discarding marinade. Wings may be prepared up to this point 1 day ahead and chilled, covered.
  • Reduce temperature to 250°F.
  • In a small serving bowl combine remaining 2 tablespoons salt and pepper. Put cornstarch in a small bowl and dredge each wing, knocking off excess cornstarch and transferring to a shallow pan. In a 5- to 6-quart heavy kettle heat oil until a deep-fat thermometer registers 370°F. Working in batches of 6 or 7, fry wings in oil until golden brown, about 3 minutes, and with a slotted spoon transfer to paper towels to drain. Keep wings warm on a baking sheet in oven. Fry remaining wings in same manner, returning oil to 370°F. between batches.
  • Serve wings with salt and pepper mixture.

Tips:

  • Choose butternut squash that are firm and heavy for their size, with no soft spots or blemishes.
  • Cut the butternut squash into even-sized fries for even cooking.
  • Toss the butternut squash fries with a mixture of Chinese five-spice powder, salt, and pepper to enhance their flavor.

  • Cook the butternut squash fries in a single layer to ensure even cooking.
  • Shake the air fryer basket halfway through cooking to prevent the fries from sticking together.
  • Serve the butternut squash fries immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
