These crispy chicken wings are packed with flavor and a perfect snack or appetizer for any occasion. The key is in the marinade, followed by a light coating of egg and starch, and finally, frying them to a perfect golden crisp. You’ll love the juicy interior and crunchy exterior of these wings!

Ingredients:

• 12 chicken wings
• 2 tablespoons cooking wine
• 2 tablespoons light soy sauce
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon black pepper
• 1 egg
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch (or potato starch)
• Oil for frying

Instructions:

1. Marinate the Chicken Wings:
   • Start by washing and patting dry the chicken wings. Using a sharp knife, make a few slits in each wing to allow the marinade to penetrate.
   • In a large bowl, combine the chicken wings with 2 tablespoons of cooking wine, 2 tablespoons of light soy sauce, ½ teaspoon of salt, and ½ teaspoon of black pepper. Mix well, ensuring each wing is coated with the marinade. Let the wings marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
2. Coat the Wings:
   • After marinating, pour out any excess liquid from the bowl.
   • Add 1 beaten egg to the wings, followed by 2 tablespoons of cornstarch. Use your hands to mix and coat the wings thoroughly. The starch will help create a crispy coating when fried.
3. Fry the Wings:
   • Heat a generous amount of oil in a deep pan over medium heat. The oil should be hot enough to fry but not too hot to burn the wings.
   • Carefully place the wings into the hot oil. Fry on low to medium heat, turning them occasionally until both sides are golden brown and crispy. This should take about 10-12 minutes. Make sure to turn the wings frequently for even cooking.
   • Once the wings are golden and crispy, remove them from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
4. Serve:
   • Serve the crispy chicken wings hot with your favorite dipping sauce or enjoy them on their own. They make a perfect snack or appetizer for game day, parties, or any occasion!

These wings are sure to be a hit with anyone who loves a deliciously crispy bite. Enjoy!
