Description

These crispy Chinese salt and pepper chicken wings are a takeout favorite you can make at home! Lightly coated and double-fried for maximum crunch, they’re tossed with garlic, onions, chili, and seasoning for an irresistible spicy-savory bite.

Ingredients

  • Main Ingredients:
  • 400g chicken wings (skin-on, about 14 oz)
  • 1 cup potato or corn starch (add more if needed)
  • 2–3 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
  • 2–3 red or green chilies, thinly sliced
  • 2–3 spring onions, thinly sliced
  • Neutral oil for frying
  • For the Marinade:
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon garlic paste
  • Option 1 – Basic Seasoning:
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon chicken powder or MSG (optional)
  • Option 2 – Chinese Salt & Pepper Seasoning:
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon white pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon Chinese five spice powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon chicken powder or MSG (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine chicken wings with salt, black pepper, baking soda, and garlic paste. Rub well and marinate for 15 minutes.
  2. Slice garlic, chilies, onions, and spring onions thinly.
  3. Dredge the marinated wings in starch, coating evenly. Shake off excess flour.
  4. Heat oil to 350°F (180°C). Deep-fry wings for 3–4 minutes until they float. Remove and rest for 6–8 minutes.
  5. Reheat oil and deep-fry wings again for 5–6 minutes until golden and crispy. Drain on a rack.
  6. In a hot wok or pan, drizzle 1 tbsp oil. Stir-fry garlic for a few seconds, then add onions, chilies, and spring onions.
  7. Add the fried wings and sprinkle with your chosen seasoning (Option 1 or 2). Toss everything together to coat.
  8. Serve hot and crispy, straight from the pan.

Notes

  • Double-frying ensures maximum crunchiness.
  • Adjust chili quantity to your preferred spice level.
  • Use fresh ingredients for best flavor and aroma.
