Ingredients
Wings
- 2 pounds chicken wings
- vegetable oil for deep frying, or canola oil
Sauce
- 1/2 cup cornstarch
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 1/2 teaspoon garlic minced
- 1 1/2 teaspoon ginger root minced
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup white vinegar
- 1/4 cup dry sherry or dry white wine
- 14 ounces chicken broth
Instructions
- If necessary, cut the wings into drumettes and wingettes. Be sure to cut off the wing tip (you can save this for making chicken stock). Pat the wings dry with a paper towel.
- In a deep fryer, heat the oil to 375°F. Deep fry the chicken wings for 10 to 12 minutes, depending on their size, until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F. Remove the wings from the fryer and transfer to a wire rack to drain.
- Whisk together all the ingredients for the sauce in a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat. Cook until thickened. Then reduce the temperature to a simmer.
- Place 1/4 of the wings in a medium-sized bowl. Add a ladle of sauce and gently toss. Repeat with remaining wings and sauce. Serve immediately.
