Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix eggs and soy sauce in a bowl; add remaining ingredients to form a batter.
- Chop off the wing tips and split each chicken wing into two pieces.
- Soak the prepared wings overnight in the batter.
- Deep fry the wings until golden and crispy.
Tips & Substitutions
For extra flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of ginger or a splash of sesame oil to the batter. If you want a gluten-free option, substitute the flour with a gluten-free blend or almond flour. To make the wings even crispier, double fry them — fry once until lightly golden, let rest, then fry again until fully golden and crispy.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these delicious chicken wings with a side of celery sticks and ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping. They also pair excellently with a light Asian slaw or steamed rice. For a festive touch, consider serving them alongside the Empress Chicken Wings for a themed dinner.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover chicken wings in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 10-15 minutes or until heated through. This method helps maintain their crispiness compared to microwaving.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen chicken wings for this recipe?
Yes, you can use frozen chicken wings. Just ensure to thaw them completely in the refrigerator before preparing. This will help the batter adhere better and ensure even cooking.
What can I substitute for monosodium glutamate?
If you want to avoid monosodium glutamate (MSG), you can use a dash of soy sauce or a bit of salt to enhance the flavor. Another option is to use a natural seasoning blend that contains no MSG.
How do I know when the wings are done frying?
The wings are done when they are golden brown and crispy, which typically takes about 8-10 minutes in hot oil. You can also use a meat thermometer; the internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C) for safe consumption.
