Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 Wash the chicken wings and squeeze out the water with a sterilized towel;

   

2. 2 Make two cuts on both sides of the chicken wings to facilitate the flavor;

   

3. 3 Add appropriate amounts of green onion and ginger, 2 star anise, 2 bay leaves, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp chicken essence, 1/2 tsp sugar, 1 tsp rice wine (or cooking wine), 1 tsp pepper, 1 tsp chili powder (add more if you like spicy), mix well and marinate for more than 1 hour, it is best to put it in the refrigerator overnight;

   

4. 4 Remove the seasoning from the marinated chicken wings, put them into the beaten eggs, and evenly coat them with a layer of egg liquid;

   

5. 5 Then put it into the bread crumbs, and evenly coat it with a layer of bread crumbs. You can press it gently with your hands to evenly coat it;

   

6. 6 Place the chicken wings wrapped in bread crumbs on a flat plate and let them rest for 15 to 20 minutes to allow the bread crumbs to coat the chicken wings more firmly;

   

7. 7 Pour cold oil into a hot pot and heat it to 150 degrees (50% hot) over medium heat. You can use a pin thermometer to measure it. If not, try it with your hands: place your palm about 10cm above the oil surface and it will feel warm in the palm of your hand. There will be almost no movement on the oil surface, let alone oil smoke. Otherwise, if the oil temperature is too high, the bread crumbs will fry quickly and the chicken will not be cooked yet.

   

8. 8 Add the chicken wings, turn down the heat and fry slowly for about 4 minutes, turning over in the middle;

   

9. 9 After 4 minutes, turn to medium-high heat and fry for 1 or 2 minutes, until the surface is golden brown.

   

10. 10 Remove and place on kitchen paper to absorb excess fat. If you're not sure, you can use a bamboo skewer to test whether it's done: pierce the skewer into the thick part of the wing and leave clear soup instead of blood, which means it's done.
