Your New Favorite Chicken Wing!

Ingredients

• 2 pounds Chicken Wings (split into flats and drumettes; flats saved for later use)
• 2 tablespoons Soy Sauce (low‑sodium preferred)
• 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Black Pepper (freshly ground)
• 0.25 cup Cornstarch (for dredging, creates a crisp coating)
• 0.5 teaspoon Monosodium Glutamate (MSG) (optional, adds umami)
• 2 cups Vegetable Oil (for shallow frying; use a high smoke‑point oil)
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted Butter (for brown butter sauce)
• 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 1 tablespoon Fresh Parsley (chopped, for garnish)

Instructions

1. Marinate the Wings

   Place the chicken wings in a large mixing bowl. Add soy sauce, garlic powder, paprika, and black pepper. Toss until every piece is evenly coated, then cover and refrigerate while you prepare the dredge.

   Time: PT10M

2. Prepare Dredge and Coat Wings

   In a shallow tray combine cornstarch and MSG (if using). Remove the wings from the fridge, let excess liquid drip off, then roll each wing in the cornstarch mixture, shaking off any excess.

   Time: PT5M

3. Shallow Fry the Wings

   Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium‑high heat until it reaches about 350°F (use a thermometer or test with a small breadcrumb). Carefully add the coated wings in a single layer, frying 4‑5 minutes per side until golden and crispy. Transfer to a paper‑towel‑lined plate to drain.

   Time: PT12M

   Temperature: 350°F

4. Make Brown Butter Garlic Sauce

   In a small saucepan melt the butter over medium heat, stirring constantly. Continue until the butter turns a nutty amber color and releases a fragrant aroma (about 3‑4 minutes). Add the minced garlic and sauté for another 30 seconds, then remove from heat.

   Time: PT5M

   Temperature: medium

5. Toss Wings in Sauce and Garnish

   Return the fried wings to the large mixing bowl, pour the brown butter garlic sauce over them, and toss until every wing is glossy. Sprinkle chopped parsley on top for color and a fresh finish.

   Time: PT3M
