Ingredients
- 1 kg chicken wings
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp salt
- 3 slices ginger
- 1 tbsp cooking wine
- 150 ml milk
- 1 egg
- 150 g flour
- 30 g butter
- 2 slices cheese
- 2 tbsp honey
- 2 tbsp mustard
- 1 tbsp seaweed flakes
Instructions
- 1Season the chicken wings
Place the chicken wings in a glass bowl. Season them with black pepper, salt, ginger slices, and a splash of cooking wine to remove any gamey odors and enhance the flavor.
Tip: Massage the seasoning into the wings thoroughly to ensure even flavor distribution. - 2Soak in milk
Pour fresh milk over the seasoned chicken wings until they are partially submerged. Let the wings soak in the milk to tenderize the meat and create a milder flavor.
Tip: The milk helps to draw out any remaining impurities and ensures the chicken stays juicy during frying. - 3Prepare the batter
Add an egg and a portion of flour directly into the bowl with the chicken wings. Mix everything thoroughly until a smooth, uniform batter coats the chicken.
Tip: This step is crucial for creating a light and crispy coating that adheres well to the wings. - 4Coat with dry flour
Take each batter-coated chicken wing and dredge it in a plate of dry flour. Ensure each piece is evenly coated on all sides to guarantee a crunchy exterior when fried.
Tip: Shake off any excess flour before placing the wings in the hot oil to keep the frying clean. - 5Deep fry the wings
Carefully place the flour-coated chicken wings into a pan filled with hot oil. Deep fry the wings until they turn a golden brown and are cooked through with a crispy texture.
Tip: Fry in batches to maintain the oil temperature and ensure even cooking. - 6Make the honey cheese mustard sauce
In a small pan, melt butter and add cheese slices, milk, honey, and mustard. Stir continuously over low heat until the sauce reaches a smooth, thickened consistency.
Tip: Keep the heat low so the cheese melts slowly without splitting the sauce.
