Salted Egg Fried Chicken Wings:

🧂 Ingredients

• 1 pound chicken wings
• 1½ tablespoon shaoxing cooking wine
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon salt
• ¼ teaspoon pepper
• ½ teaspoon chinese 5 spice
• ½ tablespoon ginger

  minced
• 3 cups canola oil
• 2 eggs
• 1 cup cornstarch
• 3 salted egg yolk

  yolk only, no egg white
• 1 teaspoon oyster sauce
• 2 cloves garlic

  minced
• ½ teaspoon sugar
• ¼ teaspoon pepper
• 1 shallot

  finely minced
• 1 tablespoon butter

Instructions

• 1 Marinade chicken wings in cooking wine, soy sauce, salt, pepper, Chinese 5
  spice, and ginger for 30 minutes.
• 2 Beat eggs and add a pinch of salt in a bowl. Place cornstarch on a plate. Dip
  wings in cornstarch, then egg, then in cornstarch again. Leave wings on plate
  for 15 minutes before frying to ensure the batter will stick on the wings when
  frying.
• 3 Heat oil to 350F in a pot (medium heat). To check if the oil is hot enough, add
  a little cornstarch and see if the corn starch starts to bubble. If yes, then
  fry wings for roughly 7 minutes. Cooking Tip: Make sure that you don't overcrowd
  the wings. This will result in a soggy and oily wing. After frying, place on
  wire rack or on top of paper towels.
• 4 Heat oil to 400F (medium-high heat). Fry the wings again until they turn golden
  brown for 2-3 minutes. After frying, place on wire rack or on top of paper
  towels.
• 5 To make the salted egg sauce, start by cutting salted duck eggs in half and
  scoop out egg yolks. Then mix the egg yolks with garlic, sugar, and oyster
  sauce.
• 6 In a pan, heat up butter and sauté minced shallots for 1-2 minutes. Then add the
  egg yolk mixture and fry for 2 minutes. Add wings in the pan and coat the wings
  with egg yolk sauce.
