Prep: 25 mins Marinate: 30mins Cook: 20mins

Ready in: 45 min Serves: 4 servings


INGREDIENTS 

For the chicken:

  • 12 drumettes and wingettes
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • pinch black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon grated ginger
  • 1/2 cup potato starch or corn starch
  • 5-6 cups oil for frying

For the sauce:

  • 2 tablespoons grated onion
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon finely grated ginger
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 4 tablespoons rice wine or mirin
  • 2 – 3 tablespoons hot sauce
  • 4 tablespoons chili sauce or ketchup

  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil

For the garnish:

DIRECTIONS:

  • Wash chicken wings, and drain thoroughly. Mix with salt, pepper and ginger. Marinate for 20 to 30 minutes.
  • Heat a pan over medium-low heat. Add 1 tablespoon of cooking oil and then the onion, garlic, and ginger. Stir for a minute until fragrant. Add all other sauce ingredients, and stir well. Simmer until it thickens slightly, about 4 to 5 minutes. Turn the heat off.

Cook until lightly golden, about 5 to 7 minutes, depending on the size of the chicken wings. Drain on a wire rack or in a large mesh strainer set on a bowl.
  • Reheat the oil to 160°C. Add the chicken (you can do this in one batch for the second frying), and deep fry again, for 2 to 3 minutes, until lightly golden brown. Drain on a wire rack or in a large mesh strainer set on a bowl.
  • Heat the sauce over medium-low heat. Add the chicken, and stir well until the chicken wings are evenly coated. Sprinkle with sesame seeds to serve.
