Instructions
- Place the chicken wings in a large mixing bowl.
- In a separate bowl, combine soy sauce, oyster sauce, sweet sherry, salt, and pepper. Mix well to create a smooth marinade.
- Pour the marinade over the chicken wings and toss until each piece is thoroughly coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for about 12 hours, allowing the flavors to infuse.
- When ready to cook, remove the wings from the marinade and discard the leftover liquid.
- In a medium bowl, combine all-purpose flour and corn flour. Toss the chicken wings in the flour mixture until fully coated, shaking off any excess.
- Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet or fryer over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking. Carefully add the wings in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.
- Fry the wings for 8–10 minutes or until golden brown, crispy, and cooked through. The internal juices should run clear when pierced.
- Remove the wings and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
- Serve immediately while hot, paired with your favorite dipping sauces such as sweet chili, ranch, or honey mustard.
