Crispy, fried, salty chicken wings - Japanese-style! Delicious as a hot starter or snack eaten with soy sauce and fresh lemon juice.

Ingredients
  • 14 ounces chicken wings
  • 1 tablespoon sake (Japanese rice wine)
  • 1 tablespoon chopped garlic
  • 1 ½ teaspoons sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon chopped fresh ginger root
  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • 3 tablespoons cornstarch
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
Directions
  1. 1. Combine chicken wings, sake, garlic, sesame oil, ginger, dashi, and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a large bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator to marinate, at least 1 hour.
  2. 2. Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
