Provided by Bill

Categories     Chinese takeout

Time 2h20m

Number Of Ingredients 13

10 whole chicken wings ((washed and pat dry))
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon white pepper
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon Shaoxing wine
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 egg
1 tablespoon cornstarch
2 tablespoons all purpose flour
oil ((for frying))

Steps:

  • Combine chicken wings, black pepper, white pepper, garlic powder, salt, sugar, soy sauce, Shaoxing wine, sesame oil and egg in a large mixing bowl. Mix everything until the wings are well-coated. Next, add the cornstarch and all purpose flour and mix again until the wings are coated.
  • Let the wings marinate for 2 hours at room temperature or in the refrigerator overnight for best results. (If you refrigerate the wings, be sure to let them come to room temperature again before cooking).
  • After marinating, if it looks like there is liquid in the bowl, be sure to mix them thoroughly again. The wings should be well coated with a thin batter-like coating. If it still looks too watery, add a bit more cornstarch and flour.
  • Fill a medium pot about 2/3 of the way up with oil, and heat it to 325 degrees F.
  • Fry the wings in small batches for 5 minutes and remove to a sheet pan lined with paper towels. After all of the wings are fried, return them in batches to the oil and fry again for 3 minutes.
  • Drain on paper towels or a cooling rack, and serve with hot sauce!

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 17

1.5 kg /3 lb chicken wings (, cut into drumettes and wingettes (Note 1))
1/2 tsp sesame oil (, toasted )
2 tbsp lemon juice
2 tbsp Chinese cooking wine ((Shaoxing wine, sub Mirin, dry sherry))
2 tbsp soy sauce (, light or all purpose)
2 tbsp brown sugar or honey
1 1/2 tbsp hoisin sauce
1 1/2 tbsp oyster sauce
1/4 cup ketchup (or Aussie tomato sauce)
1 tbsp chilli garlic sauce (or sambal oelek (adjust spiciness to taste))
4 cloves garlic (, minced)
1 tbsp ginger (, finely grated)
1/2 tsp five spice powder
Finely sliced shallots/scallions
Sesame seeds
Coriander/cilantro leaves
Finely sliced fresh chili

Steps:

  • Mix Marinade ingredients.
  • Place wings in large bowl, pour over Marinade and toss well. Set aside for 10 minutes - do not marinate for longer than 1 hour. (Note 3)
  • Preheat the oven to 180C/350F.
  • Line baking tray with foil then greaseproof paper (you'll thank me later).
  • Shake excess marinade off wings (but reserve the marinade) and spread on baking tray - can be fairly snug but not super squished (use 2 trays if needed).
  • Bake 45 - 50 minutes, basting with a brush at 25 minutes and 35 minutes, using the reserved marinade and juieces on the tray.
  • The meat should be able to be pulled off the bones quite easily, they should be just starting to char on the edges and a sticky, dark red/golden colour all over.
  • Sprinkle with garnishes - coriander/cilantro leaves, sesame seeds, chilli, sliced shallots/scallions - then serve!

  • Don't overcrowd the pot: When frying the chicken wings, don't overcrowd the pot. This will prevent the chicken wings from cooking evenly.
  • Serve the chicken wings with a dipping sauce: Serve the chicken wings with a dipping sauce, such as soy sauce, rice vinegar, or chili sauce.
