For the chicken wings
- 8 chicken wings, separated into flat pieces and drumettes.
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup corn flour
- For the chicken wings, combine the corn flour, flour, baking powder and salt and add the chicken wings. Make sure the chicken wings are well covered in the flour mixture.
- Remove the chicken wings from the flour and shake off the excess. Place on a wire rack and in the fridge for 30 minutes to allow the chicken wings to dry out.
For the sauce
- 2 garlic cloves, crushed
- 1 red chili, finely chopped
- 1 2cm piece fresh ginger, finely grated
- 1/4 cup rice wine vinegar
- 1/4 cup fish sauce
- 1/2 cup soy sauce
- 1 cup soft brown sugar
- In the meantime, combine all the sauce ingredients in a small saucepan and allow to simmer for 20 minutes until the sauce has the consistency of maple syrup.
- Remove from the heat and set aside.
For the batter
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup water
- 3/4 cup vodka
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup corn flour
- Heat the oil in a pot.
- For the batter, combine all the ingredients and mix together. The batter needs to be quite thin, almost like single cream.
