Prepare the ingredients
Wash the chicken wings thoroughly, then use a spoon to poke the chicken wings to allow the marinade to absorb better.
Put the chicken in a bowl with 1 crushed ginger root, 1 tablespoon of white wine, 1 tablespoon of salt, and pour boiling water in to soak for 10 minutes to help clean, firm up the chicken meat, and enhance the aroma of the dish.
Remove the chicken to drain, then add 1/2 teaspoon of seasoning, 1/2 teaspoon of MSG, minced garlic and onion, a little cooking oil, and mix well by hand and marinate for about 15 minutes.
Tip: Marinating the chicken wings with white wine, ginger, and boiling water helps the chicken meat to be tender, not dry, has a strong aroma, and keeps the wings cleaner.

Fried Chicken
Add oil to the pan and wait for it to heat up, then add the chicken wings to fry in deep oil over medium heat.
Tip:- When frying, you can add a little salt or a few chili peppers to the oil to prevent it from splattering.
- You should not fry the chicken wings until crispy; just fry them until golden to avoid the chicken meat becoming dry and unappetizing.
Wait until they are evenly golden. Then take the chicken out to drain the oil.
Add minced garlic to sauté until golden. Then add minced chili to stir-fry together, depending on your taste, you can adjust the amount of chili.
Add butter to the pan to melt evenly over low heat, then add in the remaining garlic. Add the sauce and mix well until you see bubbles rising, then add the chicken. Stir well so that the chicken wings mix evenly with the seasoning over low heat.
Then, add the sautéed garlic and onion from before, mix well, and turn off the heat.

Final product

How to choose delicious chicken wings
- You should choose industrial chicken wings instead of local chicken for fried chicken dishes because industrial wings will have more meat and a better wing base.
- Choose chicken wings with a naturally light yellow skin color, do not buy those with dark or reddish colors. When touching the skin and meat, if they are elastic and firm, then the wings are fresh and delicious; do not buy wings with soft, mushy meat.
- Wings with uneven blotchy colors, bruises, or foul smells should absolutely not be purchased.
- Darkened skin may indicate that the chicken died before being processed and is no longer fresh, or wings with a bright yellow color may have been dyed, so they should not be chosen.
Notes for a successful dish
- It is advisable to fry both sides of the wings until cooked; you can cut the wings into smaller pieces at the joints to make frying easier.
- Fry on low heat to ensure that the meat inside cooks evenly while the outside turns golden and beautiful.
- Frying in deep oil will absorb less oil and result in more evenly cooked wings.
