Notes

Cooking Tips of Soy Garlic Chicken Wings:

  1. Achieving the Perfect Crispness: To achieve that irresistibly crispy texture on your soy garlic chicken wings, consider using rice flour as the breading instead of traditional wheat flour or cornstarch. The rice flour creates a thin, delicate coating that fries up beautifully, providing an exquisite crunch with every bite.
  2. Double Fry for Extra Crispiness: For those who truly appreciate an extra crispy exterior, employ the double fry technique. After frying the chicken wings once and draining them on paper towels, return them to the hot oil for a second fry at high heat for about 3 minutes. This method ensures an even crispier and more delightful outcome.
  3. Coat Liberally with the Soy Garlic Sauce: The magic of soy garlic chicken wings lies in the exquisite sauce that envelops each piece. When tossing the fried wings in the soy garlic sauce, ensure you coat them generously to maximize the infusion of flavors. The sweet, salty, and spicy notes of the sauce complement the crispy coating to create a heavenly taste experience.
