Crisp skin and a glossy sweet-salty glaze make these Chinese-style fried chicken wings addictive and easy to prepare at home.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds chicken wings
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon five-spice powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Oil for frying

Instructions

  1. Whisk the marinade: In a bowl, combine soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, minced garlic, minced ginger, sesame oil, five-spice powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper until the honey is dissolved.
  2. Marinate the wings: Add chicken wings to the bowl, toss to coat, then cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight for best flavor.
  3. Heat the oil: Fill a deep fryer or large skillet with enough oil to submerge the wings halfway (about 2–3 inches) and heat to 350–375°F (175–190°C).
  4. Prepare the wings for frying: Remove wings from marinade and let excess drip off. Pat wings lightly with paper towels.
  5. Fry in batches: Fry the wings without crowding the pan for 8–10 minutes until golden brown.
  6. Drain and rest: Transfer cooked wings to a paper towel–lined tray to drain briefly. Serve hot.

Notes

For a lower-oil approach, roast at 425°F (220°C) for 35–40 minutes, turning once; brush with reserved marinade at the end.
