Ingredients

  • 2 lbs Chicken wings (split into flats and drums)
  • 1 cup Potato starch
  • 1 teaspoon Baking powder
  • 0.5 cup Soy sauce
  • 0.25 cup Mirin (rice wine)
  • 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger, finely grated
  • 6 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
  • 3 tablespoons Brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon Toasted sesame oil
  • 1 quart Vegetable oil for deep frying
  • 1 tablespoon Toasted sesame seeds and scallions for garnish(optional)

Instructions

  1. 1

    Pat the chicken wings completely dry with paper towels to ensure maximum crispiness.

  2. 2

    Toss the wings in a large bowl with potato starch and baking powder until every crevice is thinly and evenly coated.

  3. 3

    In a small saucepan, combine soy sauce, mirin, ginger, garlic, brown sugar, and vinegar; simmer over medium heat until the sauce reduces slightly and becomes syrupy.

  4. 4

    Heat the frying oil in a heavy-bottomed pot to 350°F (175°C) and fry the wings in batches for 8-10 minutes until pale golden.

  5. 5

    Remove the wings and let them rest on a wire rack for at least 5 minutes; this allows internal moisture to evaporate.

  6. 6

    Increase the oil temperature to 390°F (200°C) and fry the wings a second time for 2-3 minutes until they are deep golden brown and shatteringly crisp.

  7. 7

    While the wings are still piping hot, immediately toss them in a large bowl with the warm soy-garlic glaze until thoroughly coated.

  8. 8

    Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced scallions, serving immediately while the crust is at its peak texture.
