Salt and Pepper Chicken Wings

Pin0Yummly0

This is one of the best tasting Asian chicken wings dish. What I can say is that it is a fried chicken with a twist. Because the fried chicken is sauteed with onion, ginger and spring onions and them coated with sesame oil, rice wine and five spice powder. I’m sure you are going to enjoy it with the barbecue dipping sauce included in this recipe. But you can always replace the dipping sauce with your favorite kind of dipping sauces. This recipe is also versatile that you can replace the chicken wings with your favorite chicken parts like drumsticks, chicken fillet or chicken thigh.
