Notes
Cooking Tips of Salted Egg Chicken Wings:
- The key to delightful chicken wings is proper seasoning. Use ample salt and pepper to ensure flavor. A splash of calamansi or lemon juice adds zest while tenderizing the meat.
- For perfectly crispy wings, hot oil is crucial. Heat the oil well before frying to achieve a crisp, golden exterior. Coat the wings evenly in breading for consistent crunch.
- Achieve harmony with the Salted Egg Yolk Sauce's seasoning by tasting and adjusting if required. Salted eggs can differ in their salt levels, making it crucial to strike the perfect balance. If the sauce feels overwhelmingly rich, a dash of lime juice can help cut through the richness and provide a refreshing, tangy contrast.
