Spicy Garlic Ginger Chicken Wings

April 16, 2014

I usually cook Spicy buffalo wings. This time, however, I wanted to cook it differently, yet retaining it's kick. I mean, it should still be spicy. The chicken wing part is not really my favorite part. I love drumsticks. My kids prefer the wings, though. Oh, well, the wing has a "drumstick" looking part called drumette, and attached to it, the wing and wing tip. So, I always have them cut already, separating the drumettes from the wings part.

It's Lent and we're abstaining from pork. Not required but sort of a tradition already. So, it's either chicken or any seafood or just veggies. Let's pick chicken "wink."

Spicy Garlic Ginger Chicken Wings

Ingredients:

• 1 kilo chicken wings, drumette separated from the wing part
• 1 1/2 cups flour
• 1-2 Tbsp pepper, salt, MSG
• 1 tsp chili powder (optional)
• 1 egg, beaten
• 1 cup cooking oil

Sauce:

• 4 Tbsp soy sauce
• 2 tsp Hoisin sauce
• 1 cup granulated white sugar
• 1 Tbsp hot sauce
• 1 tsp ground pepper
• 1 tsp chopped red chilies (optional)
• 1/2 cup water
• 1 Tbsp cornstarch dissolved in 1/4 cup water
• 1 thumb-size fresh ginger, grated
• 4 cloves garlic, chopped
• 1 tsp garlic powder

Let's cook!

• Rub chicken pieces with pepper, salt, chili powder.
• Put 1 1/2 cups flour in a plastic bag. Add the chicken pieces, knot the ends of the plastic then shake. This will coat the chicken pieces evenly and will save you time from coating them one by one.
• Heat oil in a pan.
• Deep fry the chicken. 
• When the chicken pieces are cooked, transfer to a serving platter.
• In a sauce pan, combine the sauce ingredients, except for the cornstarch mixture. 
• Heat the sauce pan and mix the sauce ingredients well.
• Season to taste.
• Allow to boil, then add cornstarch mixture to thicken the sauce a bit.
• Turn off heat.
• Pour the  sauce to the fried chicken wings. Garnish with chopped spring onions and tomatoes(or any garnishing you have)
• Serve.

The chicken wings topped with thick sticky garlic ginger sauce is simply delicious!
