I was determined to find a recipe that tastes like that.
So today I shall try replicating it at home, trying out this 4 fingers chicken copycat (1)
Learning experience:
The chicken wings turned out nice but unfortunately, son said it is not the same. Also, when coating the flour, I need to compress it more.
Next, I need to find a lighter soy sauce as the one I am using is too dark.
Adapted
What you need:
2kg chicken wings (cut into parts)2 tsp salt2 tsp black pepper1 tsp grated ginger
potato starch (coating)
Sauce
8 clove garlic, minced1/2 cup light soy sauce2 tbsp chilli flakes 1/2 rice syrup (avail in Korean supermarket)2 tbsp vinegar1 tbsp mustard 2 tbsp brown sugar
Toasted sesame
Method:
Marinate chicken with salt, ginger, and pepper. Chill either overnight or half a day.
Coat the chicken with potato starch thoroughly. Set aside.
Heat a pot of oil and deep fry the chicken (about 20 mins). Remove and drain.
Heat oil to smoking hot and add the fried chicken and lower the heat. Fry until crispy. Remove and drain.
Sauce
In a pan, heat 2 tbsp oil and add in minced garlic, and fry until fragrant.
Add in soya sauce, chilli flakes, and lower the heat.
Add in vinegar, mustard powder, and brown sugar. Cook until the sauce starts to thickens slightly.
Add in chicken and stir to coat evenly.
