Ingredients 
 

  • 5 chicken wings
  • 1 tbsp white wine
  • 1 tbsp tomato ketchup
  • 1 tbsp chili bean sauce tobanjan
  • 1 tsp rice vinegar
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 1 tsp oyster sauce
  • 1 tsp garlic paste
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch
  • 2 tbsp cake flour
  • cooking oil for shallow frying

Instructions 

  • Start by taking a good sharp knife and chopping board. Stretch out each wing and feel for the joint. (If using wings with the drum attached, repeat this process on the other side so that the wing is divided into three parts.)

  • Cut off the tips by cutting through the cartilage part in the fold. You can use the tips or save them for making chicken stock.

Frying

  • Take a deep frying pan and add oil so its about 2cm (1 inch) high. Heat your oil to 160 °C (320 °F).
    While you wait, add 2 tbsp cornstarch and 2 tbsp cake flour to the chicken and mix it around. The flour and starch will mix with the marinade to make a thick batter over the chicken.
