Crispy chicken wings with a sticky-sweet glaze and hint of five-spice, perfect for game days or potlucks.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds chicken wings
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ginger, minced
  • 1 teaspoon five-spice powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 cups vegetable oil for frying

Instructions

  1. Whisk the marinade: In a bowl, combine soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, sesame oil, minced garlic, minced ginger, five-spice powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper until honey is incorporated.
  2. Marinate the wings: Toss the chicken wings in the marinade, cover, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to overnight.
  3. Heat the oil: Pour vegetable oil into a deep skillet and heat to 350°F (175°C).
  4. Prep to fry: Remove wings from the marinade and let excess drip off.
  5. Fry in batches: Add wings in a single layer to the hot oil and fry until crispy and golden, about 8–10 minutes per batch.
  6. Drain and serve: Transfer wings to a paper towel-lined plate to drain, serve hot and toss them with extra honey or garnish with sesame seeds or scallions if desired.

Notes

For a sweeter glaze, use low-sodium soy sauce and adjust honey accordingly. Ensure the oil temperature remains stable for crispy wings.
