Number Of Ingredients 16

12 - chicken wings
2 - cinnamon sticks
3 - star anise
2 tablespoon(s) peppercorns, whole black
- FIVE SPICE POWDER INGREDIENTS
- vegetable oil
1/2 teaspoon(s) baking soda
1/4 cup(s) cornstarch
1/2 cup(s) all purpose flour
1/4 cup(s) water
1/2 teaspoon(s) five spice powder
1/2 teaspoon(s) salt
1 teaspoon(s) sugar
2 teaspoon(s) soy sauce
2 teaspoon(s) vegetable oil
6 - cloves

Steps:

  • Separate chicken wings at joints; discard tips.
  • Mix egg, 2 teaspoons oil, soy sauce, sugar, salt and five-spice powder; pour over chicken.
  • Cover and refrigerate 1 hour.
  • Add water to chicken; stir flour, cornstarch and baking soda into chicken.
  • Heat oil (1 l/2 inches) in dutch oven or wok to 350.
  • Fry 4 or 5 chicken pieces at a time about 4 minutes, turning 2 or 3 times, until light brown; drain on paper towel.
  • Increase oil temperature to 375.
  • Fry half of the chicken pieces about 1 minute or until golden brown; drain on paper towel.
  • Repeat with remaining chicken.
  • Serve with sweet-and-sour sauce or hot mustard if desired.
  • FIVE SPICE POWDER In a small, heavy dry skillet, toast peppercorns over medium heat until they become fragrant, about 1 to 2 minutes. Shake pan often to prevent burning. Remove to a bowl.
  • Repeat toasting process separately with star anise, fennel seeds, cinnamon, and cloves.
  • Pour all of the toasted spices into a spice grinder (or clean coffee grinder) and grind to a fine powder.
  • Let rest in the grinder for 1 minute, then transfer to a glass container and tighten lid. Store in a cool, dark place up to one month.
  • Use five-spice powder sparingly, as it can be quite pungent.
