Servings 3 people

Ingredients
  

  • 12 chicken wings
  • 1 ½ teaspoons salt
  • ½ teaspoon pepper
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons corn starch
  • 1 onion
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • cooking oil for deep frying

Chili sweet soy sauce

  • 2 tablespoons light soy sauce I used Kikkoman
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
  • 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sweet rice wine
  • 1 tablespoon chili oil

To garnish

  • sliced scallions

Instructions
 

  • Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels then cut to separate the drumettes from the wings (no need to discard the wing tips).
  • Toss with one teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon pepper and place in a resealable bag.
  • Whisk together the flour, starch and remaining salt and pepper (see notes after the recipe).
  • Peel and thinly slice the onion.
  • Peel and mince the garlic
  • Mix together all the ingredients for the sauce.
  • In a wok or frying pan, heat enough cooking oil to reach a depth of at least two inches.
  • Dump the seasoned flour mixture into the resealable bag. Seal then shake thoroughly to coat all chicken pieces.
  • Fry the chicken wings, in batches if necessary, until crispy and lightly browned. Depending on the size of the wings, this will take anywhere from eight to ten minutes.
  • Scoop out the wings and keep hot.
  • Pour off the cooking oil, leaving only a tablespoonful.
  • Reheat the oil and stir fry the garlic and onion for about half a minute. Pour in the sauce. Stir and allow to boil gently for a minute. Turn off the heat.
  • Add the chicken to the sauce and toss to coat each piece well.
  • Serve the sweet soy sauce fried chicken at once.

Notes

Coating the chicken with all-purpose flour only will make the crust soggy fast after tossing in sauce. The crispy texture is retained better when flour is combined with corn starch.
