Preparation
- Add the smashed garlic cloves, soy sauce, oil, rice vinegar, scallions, and ginger to a large bowl. Whisk together until evenly combined. Add the chicken wings and let marinate in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours or overnight.
- Remove the chicken wings from the marinade and dry completely with paper towels.
- Heat 2 inches oil in a large pot over medium-high heat to 350°F (180°C).
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, and a pinch of salt until well combined.
- Coat each chicken wing generously with the flour mixture.
- In small batches, fry the chicken wings in the hot oil for 6-7 minutes, until the skin is golden brown and crispy and the internal temperature of the meat near the bone reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Use a slotted spoon to remove the chicken wings to a paper towel-lined sheet tray to drain.
- Make the honey garlic sauce: Melt the butter in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and ginger; cook and stir for 2-3 minutes, until softened and fragrant.
- Add the honey, water, soy sauce, and sriracha.
- In a small bowl, stir together the water and cornstarch to make a slurry. Pour the slurry into the honey mixture and stir well. Bring to a boil and cook for 2-3 minutes, until thickened.
- Add the fried chicken wings directly into the sauce and stir until the wings are well coated. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and garnish with scallions.
- Enjoy!
