Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken wings
- 0.5 cup soy sauce
- 0.5 cup pineapple juice
- 0.25 cup brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon (grated) ginger
- 3 cloves (minced) garlic
- 0.25 cup cornstarch
- 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.25 cup (cold) water
- 4 cups (for frying) vegetable oil
- 2 stalks (thinly sliced, for garnish) green onions
- 1 tablespoon (for garnish) sesame seeds
Directions
Step 1
In a mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, pineapple juice, brown sugar, grated ginger, and minced garlic to make the marinade.
Step 2
Place the chicken wings in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow dish, and pour the marinade over them. Seal or cover and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight for best flavor.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, combine cornstarch, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and cold water to create a thick batter.
Step 4
Drain the chicken wings from the marinade (discard the marinade) and pat them dry with paper towels.
Step 5
Heat the vegetable oil in a large, deep frying pan or fryer to 350°F (175°C).
Step 6
Dip each chicken wing into the batter, ensuring it is evenly coated, and carefully add it into the hot oil.
Step 7
Fry the wings in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan, about 8-10 minutes per batch, until they are golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the wings to a wire rack or paper towels to drain excess oil.
Step 8
Once all wings are fried, transfer them to a serving platter.
Step 9
Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds before serving. Enjoy your Maui Fried Chicken Wings!
