Step by step

Method

5 steps

  1. 1

    Whisk the salt, garlic powder, sugar, white pepper, ground ginger, onion powder, sesame oil, flour, cornstarch, soy sauce, mirin, and egg into a smooth batter.

  2. 2

    Add the wings to a large food-safe bag or bowl and rub the batter over every piece. Chill for 1 hour or overnight, then let the wings sit out for 1 hour before frying so the coating is not ice-cold.

  3. 3

    If liquid has collected at the bottom, toss in extra flour 1 tablespoon at a time until the wings have a thin, sticky coating with no puddle underneath.

  4. 4

    Heat enough oil to cover the wings by about 1 inch to 325°F. Fry in batches for about 5 minutes, until lightly browned, then move them to a rack.

  5. 5

    Raise the oil to 350–365°F and fry each batch again for 3–5 minutes, until deeply golden and 165°F inside. Drain on a rack and serve hot.
