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!
