For the Coating

  • 4 tablespoons Cornstarch
For Frying
  • Neutral Oil for Deep-Frying Canola or vegetable oil recommended.

Equipment

  • Deep Fryer or Air Fryer

Method
 

Marinate the Wings
  1. Poke holes in fresh chicken wings to absorb flavors. Mix garlic, scallion, Shaoxing wine, soy sauce, oyster sauce, and salt in a bowl. Coat wings in marinade and let them marinate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
Prepare the Coating
  1. Drain excess marinade from chicken wings. Mix flour and cornstarch in a shallow dish. Toss drained wings until evenly coated and sticky.
First Frying Stage
  1. Heat neutral oil to 320°F (160°C). Fry wings in batches for 3 minutes, stirring halfway through until lightly golden brown. Remove and place on a wire rack to drain oil.
Second Frying Stage
  1. Increase oil temperature to 350°F (175°C). Fry wings again for 2 minutes until golden brown. Let them rest on a wire rack to ensure crunch.
