- For the Wings:
- 2 lbs (900g) chicken wings, split and tips removed
- 1/2 cup cornstarch
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- Oil for deep frying
- For the Honey Garlic Sauce:
- 1/4 cup honey
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar or apple cider vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon chili flakes (optional)
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch + 1 tablespoon water (slurry)
- Optional Garnish:
- Chopped parsley or green onions
- In a large bowl, toss chicken wings with salt, pepper, cornstarch, and flour until well coated.
- Heat oil in a deep pot to 350°F (175°C). Fry wings in batches for 8–10 minutes until golden and crispy. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
- In a saucepan, combine honey, soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, vinegar, and chili flakes. Simmer over medium heat for 3–4 minutes.
- Stir in the cornstarch slurry and cook until the sauce thickens, about 1 minute more.
- Toss hot wings in the sauce until evenly coated.
- Garnish with chopped parsley or green onions. Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
- Double fry wings for extra crispiness—fry once, rest, then fry again for 2–3 minutes.
- For a spicier kick, add more chili flakes or a splash of hot sauce to the glaze.
- Use a thermometer to maintain consistent frying temperature.
- Serve with ranch, blue cheese dip, or extra honey garlic sauce on the side.
