BEST Salt & Pepper Wings!

Today I’m sharing one of the most requested recipes from you guys, salt and pepper wings!

As always, I share only the best recipes with you and these salt and pepper chicken wings will knock your socks off!

I like to marinate chicken wings first before cooking, it’s just my personal preference and I believe it makes a huge difference in the end.

First thing is first, you will need single chicken wings, nice and clean. Pour Shaoxing wine, Chinese cooking wine.

Shaoxing wine is easy to find at your local Chinese grocery store and you can also purchase from online. (clicks the picture above!) Just remover, at the Asian grocery, it will be around $3 but online, it costs more.

If you don’t have Shaoxing wine, go ahead and use dry sherry or regular cooking rice wine or sake. If you can’t assume alcohol in your cooking, just use water. It will still help the wings to soak up the flavors and get rid of some of the blood from the bones.

Coat the marinated wings evenly with potato starch, shake of the excess starch.

Potato starch is crispier than cornstarch, that’s why I prefer to use potato starch for deep frying, but if you have only cornstarch, that works too.

Carefully drop the wings in the preheated oil, do 2 or 3 batches to not crowd the pot. If you crowd the pot too much, the oil temperature will drop too fast too much, so the wings won’t turn out as crispy as they should be. Fry the wings in or 12 to 15 minutes, depending on the size of the chicken wings.

When the chicken is done cooking, they will float on top of the oil, so you know when they are fully cooked. Remove from oil and place on a cooling rack. Repeat with remaining wings.
