Chinese Takeout Chicken Wings
Chinese takeout chicken wings are the crispy, savory, wings you need to try next. Not only are they flavorful, but the crunch you get on these is out of this world.
Why You’ll Love This Chinese Chicken Wing Recipe
These chinese takeout chicken wings are different from your regular seasoned and fried wings. This style of wing is made with a semi-wet batter. There is no buttermilk bath, however there is an egg and cornstarch involved. When the cornstarch and egg bind together, it creates these creases and crevice’s that just make these wings exceptionally crispy.
The flavors of this dish are not to be forgotten either. The sesame oil brings in a nutty flavor, along with the pungent white pepper. Those two flavors paired with the cooking wine to balance everything out create a savory and salty flavor that you’ll just want to keep on eating.
