Ingredients
- 1kg chicken Wings/Drums
- 3 tbsp Shaoxing rice Wine
- 1 tsp ginger grated or bashed
- 2 tsp garlic grated or bashed
- 1 Tbsp Amoy soy sauce
- 160g potato or corn flour
- salt and Rajah pepper to taste
- Neutral oil for frying
Soy Garlic Sauce
- 125g butter
- 4 tbsp Amoy soy sauce
- 4-5 garlic cloves minced
- 1 thumb-size piece of ginger
- 2 tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tsp chilli flakes
- 1 Tbsp tabasco sauce
- 2 tsp Amoy sesame oil
- 1 red chillis sliced
- toasted sesame seeds and spring onion for garnish
Method
Preparation
In a pestle and mortar, bash the ginger and garlic.
In a large bowl, marinate the chicken wings with rice wine, soy, the bashed ginger and garlic, salt and pepper. Marinade for a few minutes, or longer if you have the time.
Now dredge the marinated chicken in cornstarch.
Cooking
Place the oil in a wok and get it to a high heat. When you place a wooden chopstick into the oil it should bubble around the sides. Fry the chicken for 7-8 minutes. Drain on a wire rack or paper towel lined tray. Rest for 10 minutes, while you get the wok back up to a high heat.
To make the sauce, melt the butter into a pan. Add in the rest of the sauce ingredients and simmer.
Once the oil is up to a high heat again, fry your chicken again for about a minute or until fully cooked through and golden brown. Toss the fried chicken in the soy garlic glaze, garnish with toasted sesame seeds, sliced peppers and spring onion, and enjoy.
