Korean Chicken Wings Recipe
- 1/2 cup peanut oil
- 1/2 cup michiu rice wine
- 3 1/2 teaspoons soy sauce
- 1 1/4 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
- 1 scant teaspoon (3 grams) monosodium glutamate (MSG), optional
- 1/2 teaspoon granulated sugar
- 2 pounds chicken wings
- About 1 quart vegetable oil, for frying
- 1/4 cup potato starch
- 1/4 cup Wondra quick-mixing flour
- Place the peanut oil, rice wine, soy sauce, salt, sesame oil, (if using), and sugar in a large bowl and whisk to combine.
- Stir until the salt and sugar have completely dissolved.
- Place the chicken wings in the marinade, toss to coat evenly, cover, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- When the wings are done marinating, pour the vegetable oil into a Dutch oven or a large, heavy-bottomed pot (the oil should be at least 3 to 4 inches deep).
- Heat over medium-high heat until the oil reaches 350 degrees F on a deep-frying/candy thermometer.
- Meanwhile, line a baking sheet with paper towels or fit it with a wire cooling rack and set aside.
- Combine the potato starch and Wondra in a large bowl.
- Remove 5 to 7 wings from the marinade and place them in the Wondra mixture.
- Toss to coat them with a thin layer.
- Fry the chicken wings in the oil, adjusting the heat as needed to maintain a temperature of 350 degrees F, until the wings are cooked through and golden brown, about 7 minutes.
- Remove to the prepared baking sheet to drain, about 3 minutes.
- Repeat, working in batches, with the remaining wings.
- Serve immediately with your favorite Korean-style wing sauce.
