Wings:
- 2 lbs chicken Wings
- Salt to taste
- 1/4 tsp Pepper
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 1/2 tbsp Cornstarch
- 1 tbsp Scallions chopped
Sauce
- ⅓ cup Honey
- ¼ cup apple cider vinegar
- 1/2 tbsp Red pepper flakes
- 3 Garlic cloves minced
- 1 tsp Soy sauce optional
- 2 tbsp Water
- 1 tbsp Cornstarch
- Frying oil vegetable, canola or peanut
In a frying pan begin to heat up oil for frying on medium heat. The oil should be at least 1 inch deep.
Clean & pat dry wings and season with salt, pepper, garlic powder and a dusting of cornstarch. Mix everything together and set aside.
Once oil is ready for frying, begin to fry the wings. This should take about 7-10 minutes. Flip occasionally so the skin gets crispy and golden brown and the chicken is 165 degrees internally.
While the wings are cooking, start to make the sauce. In a small saucepan over medium heat combine the honey, apple cider vinegar, red pepper flakes, garlic and soy sauce. Stir until it starts to bubble.
Mix together the cornstarch and water before adding to the sauce. Add the cornstarch mixture to the sauce and stir. Reduce the head to medium low and let the sauce thicken. It shouldn’t be runny but not too thick. When dripping from a spoon it should have slow drips.
Toss the wings with the sauce. Add fresh chopped scallions on top. Eat and enjoy!
