02Steps
- Wash chicken wings and pat dry with paper towels. Score them lightly with a knife if desired for better marination.
- In a large bowl, combine light soy sauce, Shaoxing wine, sesame oil, white pepper, sugar, and cornstarch. Add chicken wings and mix well, ensuring each wing is coated.
- Cover the bowl and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or preferably 2 hours for best flavor.
- Heat oil in a wok or deep pot to 170-180°C (340-350°F).
- Carefully place marinated chicken wings into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for about 6-8 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through.
- Remove chicken wings from oil and place on a wire rack lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve hot.
