Hong Kong Fried Chicken Wings

Everyone LOVES fried chicken wings! Especially my husband who always asks me to make him a batch of these Hong Kong style fried chicken wings. These wings are definitely worth a try and are just as good if not better than your traditional bar food chicken wings. This recipe was inspired by another great food blog The Woks of Life.

Again these are SUPER EASY to make, no brainier food!The secret to the crispiness of these wings is cornstarch. The marinade also makes them super tasty with a hint of garlic!

If you’re not a fan of deep frying, you can easily shallow fry these wings in about an inch or two of oil in a large wok a few batches at a time. Word of warning, these chicken wings are very ADDICTIVE! Next time you have a Superbowl party consider making these as a delicious crispy crunchy meaty snack!
