These crispy chicken wings are marinated in a savory soy and rice vinegar mix, then dusted with cornstarch for an ultra-crunchy texture, perfect for quick dinners or game-day snacks.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds chicken wings
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon ginger powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Oil for frying

Instructions

  1. Whisk together soy sauce, rice vinegar, garlic powder, ginger powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper in a large bowl.
  2. Add the chicken wings and toss to coat. Cover and let marinate at room temperature for at least 30 minutes, or refrigerate for up to 2 hours.
  3. Transfer wings to a clean bowl, sprinkle cornstarch over them, and toss to coat. Shake off excess cornstarch.
  4. Heat oil in a deep skillet to 350–365°F (175–185°C).
  5. Fry wings in small batches for about 8–10 minutes until golden and crispy.
  6. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Serve immediately.

Notes

For extra crispiness, consider double-frying the wings. Serve with various dipping sauces like chili-garlic or sweet chili sauce.
