Ingredients

Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 3Prepare the batter
    A hand mixing an egg and flour into the seasoned chicken bowl to create a 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 6Make the honey cheese mustard sauce
    A small pan with butter, cheese, and other sauce ingredients being stirred on a stove.

    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.

Storage & Reheating

Refrigerator
2 days
Store chicken and sauce in separate airtight containers. The chicken will lose crispiness when refrigerated.
Reheating
10–12 min
For best results, reheat the chicken in an air fryer or oven at 180°C until crispy. Gently warm the sauce on the stove before drizzling.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, you can, but adjust the cooking time as breast meat cooks faster and can dry out easily. Cut into bite-sized strips for even cooking.
The double-coating technique—dredging in flour, dipping in a thin batter, and then dredging in flour again—creates the thickest, crunchiest crust.
Processed cheese slices work best because they melt into a smooth, stable sauce, but you can also use a mild cheddar or gouda for a deeper flavor.
