Deep Fried Chicken Wings

I always marinate chicken wings with soy sauce, oyster sauce, honey, ginger juice and garlic powder. But today I omitted ginger juice and honey. The wings tasted great even without both. I guess it's because the wings were marinated for few hours. 16 wings gone into our stomach! And it's still not enough!!!

Ingredients:

16 mid joint chicken wings (washed and drained)
3 tbsp soy sauce
2 tbsp oyster sauce
1 tbsp garlic powder
Oil for deep frying

Optional:
1 - 2 tbsp honey
2 tbsp ginger juice


Methods:

1. Marinate the chicken wings with soy sauce, oyster sauce and garlic powder. Leave the wings marinated in the fridge for 2 hours.

2. Heat the oil in the wok. Make sure to use enough oil to cover the wings. I cook into 2 batches.

3. Once the smoke is coming out from the heated oil, turn the heat down before putting in the wings. Deep fry for about 10 - 15 minutes till the wings are nicely brown and crisp.
