Instructions
1
To prepare the sauce, heat the olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until softened but not browned. Then, stir in the honey, soy sauce, and black pepper. Allow the mixture to simmer for 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent foaming or burning. Once done, remove from heat and let it cool completely.
2
Next, prepare the coating by mixing flour, powdered ginger, cayenne pepper, salt, and 1 tablespoon of black pepper in a bowl. Set aside.
3
In another bowl, whisk together the slightly beaten eggs with cold water to create an egg wash.
4
Prepare the chicken wings by washing them thoroughly and patting them dry with paper towels. Then, dip each wing piece into the egg wash, allowing excess to drip off, before tossing them into the flour mixture to evenly coat them.
5
Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer to 350°F (175°C). Once heated, carefully lower in the coated chicken wings. Fry until they achieve a golden brown color, usually about 15-20 minutes depending on the size of the wings.
6
As soon as the wings are done frying, remove them and place them in a large bowl. While they are still hot, generously toss them with some of the honey garlic sauce until well coated.
7
Serve the wings hot, paired with extra honey garlic sauce for dipping or drizzling.
