Ingredients 

  • 2 lbs Whole Chicken Wings, (whole wings)
  • 4 tbsp All purpose flour
  • 4 tbsp Cornstarch
  • 1 1/2 tbsp Soy Sauce
  • 1/2 tsp Kosher salt
  • 2 tsp Fish Sauce
  • 1 tbsp Shaoxing Wine
  • 2 tbsp Sesame Oil
  • 1 tsp White Pepper
  • 1 tsp Onion Powder
  • 1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
  • 1/2 tsp ground ginger
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 1 egg

Instructions 

  • Combine wings, kosher salt, 2 tbsp flour, 2 tbsp cornstarch, soy sauce, fish sauce, Shaoxing wine, sesame oil, white pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, ginger, black pepper, egg, and sugar in a large mixing bowl. Mix together until everything is incorporated and chicken is coated in the mixture.
  • Cover with plastic wrap and allow the chicken mixture to sit at room temperature for 2 hours. (if you're going to let it marinate longer, place in the refrigerator)
  • Add oil to a large pot. Preheat the oil to 375 degrees F.
  • Remove the plastic wrap from the bowl and coat chicken with an additional 2 tbsp cornstarch and 2 tbsp all purpose flour. Mix together again until the chicken is coated, it will be sticky.
  • Fry the chicken in batches of 3-4 pieces at a time for 5 minutes, then remove and place onto a wire rack. Once all of the chicken is fried, fry again in batches for an additional 3-5 minutes, until golden brown and crispy (the internal temperature of the chicken should be 165 degrees F).
  • Taste and sprinkle with salt as needed. Serve with hot sauce or duck sauce.
