2 ways to make delicious and unique fried chicken wings with star anise and salt & pepper

Prepare and Marinate Chicken

Rub the chicken wings with salt to reduce the fishy smell and remove dirt, then rinse thoroughly with water.

After washing the chicken wings, use a knife to cut them into bite-sized pieces and put them in a bowl.

Next, add 1 tablespoon of garlic water, 2 tablespoons of sarsi soda, and 1 teaspoon of seasoning powder to the bowl, then mix well and marinate the chicken wings for 15 minutes.

Prepare Other Ingredients

Wash the scallions, then cut them diagonally into pieces about 2cm long.

Soak the dried chili until soft, rinse with water, then cut diagonally into pieces.

Make the sauce

Put a pan on the stove, add 2 tablespoons of cooking oil, 1 tablespoon of minced garlic, 1 teaspoon of grated ginger, and 5 dried chili peppers cut into pieces, then stir-fry until the mixture becomes fragrant.

Finally, add 8 tablespoons of sarsi syrup, 1 tablespoon of ketchup, 1 tablespoon of Korean chili sauce, 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, and 1/2 teaspoon of seasoning powder to the pan, then stir well until the seasonings are completely dissolved, then turn off the heat.

Coat with flour and fry the chicken

After marinating the chicken wings for 15 minutes, place 1/4 of a pack of crispy frying flour into a bowl and mix well to coat the chicken wings evenly.

Next, pour the remaining crispy frying flour into another bowl, add 110ml of water, and stir until the mixture is well combined and thick.

Then, place the chicken wings into the bowl of frying flour to ensure they are evenly coated.

Put a pan on the stove and turn on medium heat, adding 100ml of cooking oil. Once the oil is hot, add the chicken wings and fry for about 15 minutes until they are cooked through and golden brown, then remove them to let the chicken wings drain the oil.

Completion

Place a pan on the stove, then add the chicken wings and sauce, and toss the pan to coat the wings evenly with the sauce.

Finally, add the chopped green onions and stir once more before turning off the heat.

Transfer the finished chicken wings to a plate, sprinkle with a teaspoon of white sesame seeds, and you can enjoy it now!

Prepare and Marinate Chicken Wings

After purchasing the chicken wings, use salt to rub them, then wash them thoroughly with water.

Next, cut the chicken wings into 3 parts, only using the first 2 parts of the wing, setting the end part aside.

Use a knife to cut the tendons around the end bone of the chicken wing, then use your hand to push the meat towards the end of the bone. For the middle part of the chicken wing, there are 2 bones inside, so remember to remove the small bone inside and continue doing the same as before!

Next, place the chicken wings in a bowl, add 1/2 teaspoon of five-spice powder, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of pepper, and 10ml of white wine.

Next, place the marinated chicken wings into the bowl of potato flour to coat them evenly, then dip the chicken wings into the eggs.

Finally, place the chicken wings back into the bowl of potato flour for another layer of coating!

Heat a pan on the stove, add 100ml of cooking oil, and then fry the chicken wings over medium heat for about 15 minutes until cooked and golden brown, then turn off the heat. Remove the chicken wings to a plate and let them drain.

Making sauce and finishing

Heat a pan on the stove, add 50g of unsalted butter along with 100g of diced green and red bell peppers, and sauté for about 2 minutes.

Then, add 1 teaspoon of salt and pepper, using chopsticks to stir until the salt and pepper dissolve completely.

Finally, add the chicken wings and toss the pan until the wings absorb the seasonings, then turn off the stove and transfer to a plate.
