Yield Serves 6 as an hors d'oeuvre or 4 as a main course

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 pounds chicken wings (12 to 14)
1 onion
a 1 1/2-inch piece peeled fresh gingerroot
2 tablespoons soy sauce (preferably Kikkoman)
1‚ tablespoons medium-dry Sherry
1 tablespoon Chinese five-spice powder
1 tablespoon sugar
2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon coarse salt
2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper, or to taste
1/2 cup cornstarch
6 cups vegetable oil

Steps:

  • Cut off wing tips, reserving for another use, and halve wings at joint. Coarsely chop onion and finely chop gingerroot. In a large sealable plastic bag combine onion, gingerroot, soy sauce, Sherry, five-spice powder, sugar, and 1 teaspoon salt. Add wings and seal bag, pressing out excess air. Turn bag until wings are completely coated. Marinate chicken wings in bag in a large bowl, chilled, turning bag once, 2 hours.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Transfer wings and marinade to a roasting pan or large shallow baking pan and bake, covered with foil, in middle of oven 1 hour. Cool wings until they can be handled and drain in a colander, discarding marinade. Wings may be prepared up to this point 1 day ahead and chilled, covered.
  • Reduce temperature to 250°F.
  • In a small serving bowl combine remaining 2 tablespoons salt and pepper. Put cornstarch in a small bowl and dredge each wing, knocking off excess cornstarch and transferring to a shallow pan. In a 5- to 6-quart heavy kettle heat oil until a deep-fat thermometer registers 370°F. Working in batches of 6 or 7, fry wings in oil until golden brown, about 3 minutes, and with a slotted spoon transfer to paper towels to drain. Keep wings warm on a baking sheet in oven. Fry remaining wings in same manner, returning oil to 370°F. between batches.
  • Serve wings with salt and pepper mixture.

These chicken wings are a great way to use up leftover chicken. I always have a few pieces of chicken left over after dinner and I love making these wings with them.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my chicken wings didn't turn out crispy. They were still tasty, but I was disappointed with the texture.

These chicken wings were a bit dry, but the flavor was still good. I would recommend using a different cooking method, such as baking or grilling.

The chicken wings were a bit overcooked, but they still tasted good. I would recommend cooking them for a shorter amount of time.

The chicken wings were a bit spicy for my taste, but my husband loved them. I would recommend using less chili powder if you don't like spicy food.
