Instructions
1. Prepare the Chicken Wings:

Pat dry the chicken wings with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.

Season with salt and black pepper.

Lightly coat with a mix of flour and cornstarch.
2. Fry the Wings:
-
Heat oil in a Dutch oven or deep fryer to 375°F (190°C).
-
Fry the wings in batches for 10 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
-
Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels or a wire rack to drain excess oil.
3. Make the Soy Garlic Sauce:
-
In a saucepan over medium heat, combine soy sauce, honey, garlic, ginger, sesame oil, and rice wine vinegar.
-

-
Garnish with sesame seeds and green onions.

Serve hot and enjoy!
Notes
-
Cornstarch Slurry Option: If the sauce is too thin, mix 1 tsp cornstarch with 1 tbsp water and stir into the sauce. Simmer until thickened.
-
Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer to maintain crispiness.
-
Alternative Cooking Method: Instead of frying, bake at 400°F (200°C) for 40-45 minutes, flipping halfway, or air-fry at 375°F (190°C) for 18-20 minutes.
