Instructions

Place chicken wings in a large bowl, add all the ingredients from the marinate list. Mix all the ingredients well with the chicken wings. Set aside and marinate at least 30 mins.
Mix all ingredients from the honey garic wing sauce in a bowl and set aside.
In a large bowl, add the cornstarch. Coat each of the marinated chicken wings well with the flour. Toss the excess flour out before frying.
Heat the oil into high heat about 350° F./180℃ Add the coated wings and deep fry for 8-10 mins until crispy golden brown. Remove from oil and transfer to a cooling rack or paper towel.
Heat a pan, drizzle 2 tsp of oil, add the garlic and stir for a few seconds until fragrant, then add the prepared sauce mix. Bring the heat and stir for a few seconds until the sauce is thicken and glossy.
Turn off the heat and add the fried wings in the pan. Stir and combine the wings and sauce together well.
Transfer to a serving plate and garnish with toasted sesame seeds.

Notes

- Pat dry the chicken wings with a paper towel to remove excess moisture. This helps them crisp up and allows them to absorb more flavour from the marinade. Moist wings can have a steamy effect, leading to a soggy texture.
- Frying with high-temperature oil is essential to prevent the chicken wings from becoming greasy.
- The temperature should be around 350°F; you can test with a wooden chopstick or spoon. If the oil bubbles fast and steadily, it's ready to fry.
- To Air Fry: Fry the chicken wings in the preheated air fryer at 200C/400F for 15-20 minutes or until crispy. Turn the sides halfway through and spray cooking oil over the wings before frying.
- To Bake in the Oven: Place the chicken wings over the wire rack and spray cooking oil. Bake in the preheated oven at 200C/400F for 40-45 minutes or until crispy. Flip halfway through.
