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.
