CHICKEN WINGS SWEET AND CRISPY CHICKEN

Chicken Wings Sweet and Crispy Chicken image

This is a very popular traditional Korean dish and is usually made with chunks of chicken from a whole chicken. I'm using chicken wings in this recipe, but you could use chunks.Each piece of chicken wing is coated with sweet and crispy sauce. Of the ingredients, thinly sliced ginger will turn into something like candy which has not only its own special chewy taste but also influences the whole flavor of chicken. Peanuts turn it into an amazingly crispy snack!
