Ingredients
Chicken Wings
- 1 kg chicken wings
- 1/2 cup cornstarch
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Oil for frying
Honey Garlic Sauce
- 1/4 cup honey
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon butter
Instructions
- Prepare the Wings: Pat the chicken wings dry thoroughly using paper towels, then season them evenly with salt and pepper to enhance flavor before coating.
- Coat the Wings: Dredge the seasoned wings uniformly in cornstarch, ensuring each piece is covered well to achieve a crispy texture upon frying.
- Fry the Wings: Heat oil in a deep fryer or large pan to approximately 350°F (175°C). Fry the coated wings in batches until golden brown and fully cooked through, about 8-10 minutes per batch. Remove and drain on paper towels.
- Make the Sauce: In a separate skillet, melt the butter over medium heat, then sauté the minced garlic until fragrant and slightly golden, about 1-2 minutes. Add honey and soy sauce, simmer gently for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
- Toss Wings in Sauce: Transfer the fried wings to the pan with the honey garlic sauce and toss carefully to coat every wing evenly with the sticky glaze.
- Serve: Serve immediately while hot and crispy for best taste and texture.
Notes
- Double frying the wings can enhance crispiness if desired.
- Add chili flakes to the sauce for a spicy kick.
- For a healthier alternative, bake the wings instead of frying, tossing halfway through for even cooking.
