By stancec44

These chicken wings make for a great snack or party food. They are first coated in a tempura batter, then deep fried until crispy and golden brown. Finally they are coated in a 3 flavour sauce that is spicy, sour, and sweet.

This should make enough for about 3 to 4 portions, and the recipe should take around 30 minutes to prepare and cook.

Ingredients

• 500g chicken wings
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon ground pepper
• 1/4 cup tempura flour
• 3 tbsp water
• For The Sauce
• 3 tbsp chilli sauce
• 5 tbsp ketchup
• 3 tbsp sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon ground pepper
• 1/4 cup water
• 2 tbsp sesame seed
• 2 tbsp chopped spring onion

Preparation

Step 1

Start by adding 500g of chicken wings to a mixing bowl along with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of ground pepper. Rub the pepper and salt in to the chicken wings, and let the marinate for 30 minutes.

After 30 minutes, add in 1/4 cup of tempura flour and 3 tbsp of water and mix together thoroughly, making sure that all of the wings are coated in the batter.

Then just deep fry the wings until golden brown, then set aside on some paper towel to absorb any excess oil.

Now its time to make the sauce, so add 5 tbsp of ketchup, 3 tbsp of chilli sauce, 3 tbsp of sugar, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1/4 teaspoon of ground pepper, and 1/4 cup of water to a wok, and heat on a high heat while stirring.

Once the sauce begins to bubble, add in the fried chicken wings and briefly mix in so that the sauce covers the wings. Then add in 2 tbsp of sesame seed and mix in with the chicken. Finally just sprinkle on 2 tbsp of chopped spring onion, mix one last time, then serve and enjoy!
