Ingredients

Instructions

  1. 1

    Separate the wings at the joints, pat them very dry with paper towels, rub with the salt and leave for 10 minutes.

  2. 2

    Mix the cornstarch and flour in a large bowl; toss the wings in it until coated and shake off the excess.

  3. 3

    Heat the sunflower oil for deep-frying in a deep pot to 170 °C. Fry the wings in 3-4 batches for 10-12 minutes until cooked through, then rest on a rack for 5 minutes.

  4. 4

    Raise the oil to 190 °C and fry the wings a second time for 4-5 minutes until very crisp and deep golden.

  5. 5

    Grate the garlic and ginger. Heat 1 tbsp of the oil in a large skillet and stir the garlic and ginger over low heat for 1 minute.

  6. 6

    Add the red pepper paste, soy sauce, honey and sugar and cook over medium heat, stirring, for 2-3 minutes until glossy and slightly thick.

  7. 7

    Turn off the heat, add the wings and toss until fully coated; sprinkle with the sesame seeds and serve right away.
