Ingredients
- 1 kg Chicken Wing Flats (flat wing sections only, skin on)
- 45 ml Fish Sauce (Thai fish sauce (Nam Pla))
- 0.5 tsp Ground White Pepper (optional, for subtle heat)
- 60 g Rice Flour (for coating; can use cornstarch instead)
- 480 ml Vegetable Oil (high smoke‑point oil for shallow frying)
Instructions
Marinate wings in fish sauce
Place the chicken wing flats in a flat dish, pour the fish sauce over them, and toss until every piece is evenly coated. Let the wings sit for 30 minutes, flipping once halfway through.
Time: PT30M
Pat dry the wings
Remove the wings from the dish, lay them on paper towels and pat both sides dry to remove excess moisture.
Time: PT5M
Season with white pepper (optional)
Sprinkle ground white pepper over the wings and give them a quick toss.
Time: PT2M
Dust wings with rice flour
Place rice flour in a fine mesh sieve. Gently shake the wings through the sieve so both sides are lightly coated, then shake off any excess flour.
Time: PT5M
Heat oil for shallow frying
Add vegetable oil to the frying pan to a depth of about 1/4 inch. Heat over medium‑high until the oil shimmers, about 5 minutes.
Time: PT5M
Temperature: 350°F
Fry wings, skin side down
Place the wings skin side down in the hot oil. Fry for 4–5 minutes until the skin turns deep golden brown.
Time: PT5M
Temperature: 350°F
Flip and finish cooking
Turn the wings over and fry the other side for 3–4 minutes, reducing heat slightly if needed, until crisp and cooked through.
Time: PT4M
Temperature: 350°F
Drain and serve
Remove the wings with tongs and place on fresh paper towels to absorb excess oil. Serve hot, ideally with a cold beer.
Time: PT2M
