Okay. So, as far as I’m concerned, a girl cannot have enough chicken wing recipes. I’m a wing kind of girl. Turkey at Thanksgiving? No, thanks — I’ll just take the wing. Slices of roast chicken? Nope — just the wings please. Every new recipe I find becomes my new fave. This is lipsmacking duh-duh-duhLIOCIOUS!
These are wonderful — super crispy and snappy because of the dredging in Wondra flour that I haven’t used since the 1980’s — and my new favorite sauce–intense, gingery, and spicy. I poured it over my first three or four wings — and it just kind of sapped the crispness out of them. My suggestion: use it as a dipping sauce.
2-3 lbs chicken wings (tips discarded, and wings cut at the joints-washed and patted dry)
1 cup of Wondra flour
1 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper
Soy Ginger Glaze
1 cup water
1 cup thinly sliced ginger
3 tbsp soy sauce
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup vinegar
2 tbsp honey or corn syrup
1-2 tbsp garlic chile sauce
optional: 1/4 cup toasted sesame seeds
First prep the chicken wings, wash, and pat dry with paper towel. In a mixing bowl, combine about 1 cup of Wondra flour, salt, and pepper. Dredge the chicken wings in the flour mixture to get a fine light coat.
Heat some cooking oil in a deep fryer or a deep frying pan to about 350 degrees. Fry chicken wings, in batches if necessary, about 5 min. Remove, place on a rack and allow to cool.
Now in a small saucepan, add the water, ginger, soy sauce, vinegar, chile, sugar and bring to boil. Then add the honey/corn syrup and reduce by half and it will be a thick maple syrup like consistency and set aside.
Re-fry the wings until crispy golden brown, about another 5-8 minutes. Drain on frying rack or paper towels. Dredge or brush on the soy ginger glaze. We also like to finish with some toasted sesame seeds on top.
