Method :
Wash and clean the chicken wings and drain the water from the pieces. To give a 'lollipop' effect, remove the thin layer of flesh and pull the flesh to one end of the thick bone. These lollipop shaped chicken pieces are available in the supermarkets or ask the butcher to do it for you.
Mix in the marinade ingredients (garlic paste, red chilly paste, Soya sauce, vinegar, MSG, white pepper powder, chopped spring onion greens and salt) in a bowl and add the chicken wings. Marinate for about two hours. As the chicken pieces get marinated, mix the refined flour, cornstarch, eggs, salt, one teaspoon of chilly paste and enough water to make a thick batter in a another bowl. Rest the batter for 15 - 20 minutes.
Heat sufficient oil in a wok, dip the chicken wings in the batter and deep fry for 3 to 4 minutes, on a medium flame, until golden brown and crisp. Drain the oil and serve hot.
Note: To make the red chilly paste, immerse about 7/8 dry red chilies in water for about 5 minutes before it is made into a paste. |
