Crispy Chicken Wings
Ingredients:
- 1 pound chicken wings
- 2 tablespoons cooking wine
- 2 tablespoons light soy sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 raw egg
- 1-2 tablespoons cornstarch
- Oil for frying
Instructions:
Marinate the Chicken Wings:
- Prepare the Marinade:
- In a large bowl, combine the cooking wine, light soy sauce, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
- Marinate:
- Add the chicken wings to the bowl and coat them evenly with the marinade.
- Let the wings marinate for at least 30 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Coat the Wings:
- Add Egg and Starch:
- After marinating, pour out any excess marinade from the bowl.
- Crack the raw egg into the bowl with the chicken wings and mix well.
- Add 1-2 tablespoons of cornstarch and toss to coat the wings evenly.
Fry the Wings:
- Heat the Oil:
- Heat a generous amount of oil in a large pan over medium-low heat.
- Ensure the oil is hot enough before adding the wings.
- Fry the Wings:
- Add the chicken wings to the pan, making sure not to overcrowd them.
- Fry the wings slowly over low heat, turning them frequently to ensure they cook evenly and develop a golden-brown crust.
- Continue to fry until both sides are crispy and golden, and the chicken is cooked through.
Serve:
- Drain and Serve:
- Remove the fried chicken wings from the oil and drain them on paper towels to remove any excess oil.
- Serve immediately while hot and crispy.
