Sweet and Sour Chicken Wings

sweet-and-sour-chicken-wingsToday I am going to share a delicious Sweet and Sour Chicken Wings recipe with you guys! I will explain how I made this dish in detail so it’s easy for you guys to follow, now let’s get started!

First, I poured a half cup of all purpose flour and a half cup of potato starch onto a plate and mixed them together with a pair of chopsticks. The flour mixture will be used to coat the chicken wings later.

sweet and sour chicken step oneAlongside the flour mixture, I also beat two eggs in a small bowl. To make sure the chicken wings had a nice flavor, I marinated them with salt and pepper for an hour ahead of time.

sweet and sour chicken step twoNow it’s time to coat the chicken wings. First, I covered a chicken wing with the flour mixture (remember to shake off the excess flour) then I dredged it into the egg mixture. Finally, I coated the chicken wing with flour mixture one last time. I battered the chicken wings one at a time and repeated the process until all the chicken wings were coated nicely.

sweet and sour chicken step threeTo deep fry the chicken wings, first I heated the oil in a deep sauce pan (or a dutch oven) until it was hot enough for deep frying . To test if the oil had reached the correct temperature (350 degrees F), I inserted a chopstick into the oil, if it immediately started to bubble, that’d be the indication that the oil was ready.

To make chicken wings crispy, I deep fried them twice. I started by frying over medium heat for ten minutes until they were cooked though and golden brown. I then removed the chicken wings from the pan to rest them on paper towel while I turned the heat up on the oil to high. After a few minutes of resting, I deep fried them again, for about five minutes this time.

sweet and sour chicken step fourWhile the chicken wings were resting on a paper towel, I started to make the sweet and sour sauce. First I sautéed the garlic until fragrant, then I mixed ketchup, honey, vinegar and water, and heated them over low heat for a few minutes until the sauce had thickened.

Now it’s time to reward yourself with delicious sweet and sour chicken wings! Simply toss the chicken wings in sauce until they are completely covered and dig in!
