Ingredients

• 2 pounds Chicken wings
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 cup Cornstarch
• 2 cups Vegetable oil
• 0.25 cup Ketchup
• 0.25 cup Rice vinegar
• 3 tablespoons Brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 0.25 cup Pineapple juice
• 1 teaspoon Cornstarch (for sauce thickening)
• 2 tablespoons Water (for sauce thickening)
• 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
• 2 stalks Green onions (sliced)

Directions

Step 1

Pat the chicken wings dry with a paper towel and place them in a large bowl.

Step 2

Season the wings with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder, then toss to ensure even coating.

Step 3

Sprinkle the cornstarch over the wings and toss again until fully coated. This will make the wings extra crispy.

Step 4

Heat the vegetable oil in a deep skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

Step 5

Fry the wings in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Cook each batch for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the cooked wings to a wire rack set over a baking sheet to let excess oil drain.

Step 6

In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the ketchup, rice vinegar, brown sugar, soy sauce, and pineapple juice. Stir well and bring to a gentle simmer.

Step 7

Mix the 1 teaspoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water to form a slurry, then slowly pour it into the saucepan while stirring constantly. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens.

Step 8

Toss the fried wings in the sweet and sour sauce until they are evenly coated.

Step 9

Transfer the wings to a serving platter and garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions.

Step 10

Serve immediately and enjoy your Sweet and Sour Wings!
