Instructions
1- Marinate the Wings:
- Place the chicken wings in a large bowl and pat dry.
- Add the minced garlic, ginger paste, oyster sauce, rice vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil, onion powder, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, chicken bouillon, 1 tablespoon of cornstarch, and 1 tablespoon of flour.
- Mix thoroughly, cover, and let marinate for 2 hours or overnight in the fridge. If marinating overnight, ensure the wings reach room temperature before frying.
2- Prepare for Frying:
- Once marinated, add the egg, the remaining cornstarch, and 1 more tablespoon of flour to the chicken wings.
- Mix well to evenly coat.
3- Heat the Oil:
- Heat oil in a deep fryer or a heavy-bottomed pot like a Dutch oven to 335Β°F to 350Β°F (170Β°C to 175Β°C).
- Prepare a wire rack over a rimmed baking sheet.
4- Fry the Wings:
- Fry the chicken wings in 3 to 4 batches until golden brown, about 8-10 minutes per batch.
- Place them on the wire rack to drain excess oil.
5- Make the Lemon Pepper Ranch:
- While the wings are frying, whisk together mayonnaise, buttermilk, lemon pepper ranch seasoning, lemon juice, and dill weed until smooth.
6- Serve and Enjoy:
- Serve the crispy garlic wings hot, alongside the lemon pepper ranch dipping sauce.
- Devour and enjoy the burst of flavors!
