It works well as a rather inexpensive hor d'oeuvre.
Instructions
Place the peanut oil, rice wine, soy sauce, salt, sesame oil, MSG (if using), and sugar in a large bowl and whisk to combine. Stir until the salt and sugar have completely dissolved.
Place the chicken wings in the marinade, toss to coat evenly, cover, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.When the wings are done marinating, pour the vegetable oil into a Dutch oven or a large, heavy-bottomed pot (the oil should be at least 3 to 4 inches deep).
Heat over medium-high heat until the oil reaches 350°F on a deep-frying/candy thermometer. Meanwhile, line a baking sheet with paper towels or fit it with a wire cooling rack and set aside.
Combine the potato starch and Wondra in a large bowl.
Remove 5 to 7 wings from the marinade and place them in the Wondra mixture. Toss to coat them with a thin layer.Fry the chicken wings in the oil, adjusting the heat as needed to maintain a temperature of 350°F, until the wings are cooked through and golden brown, about 7 minutes.
Remove to the prepared baking sheet to drain, about 3 minutes. Repeat, working in batches, with the remaining wings.
Serve immediately with your favorite Korean-style wing sauce.
Recommended wine: Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Sauvignon Blanc, Sparkling Rose, Sparkling Wine
Chicken Wings can be paired with Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Sauvignon Blanc. White meat is typically paired with white wine as to not overpower the flavor of the meat, so chardonnay and sauvignon blanc are safe choices. Chicken prepared with a tomato sauce or certainly a red wine sauce can and should be served with a red like a pinot noir. You could try Lapis Luna Chardonnay. Reviewers quite like it with a 4.7 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 13 dollars per bottle.
