This chicken wings contains only 3 ingredients but trust me its way much better than your fried chicken. While eating this you would not believe that this is baked and not fried as it is so crispy on the outside and very juicy from the inside.

So what is the secret?
Egg whites, baking soda and salt. Basically these are tried and tested concepts applied into one dish.
Let’s start with the egg whites, in Chinese cooking coating something with this is an old technique to keep delicate meats and ingredients tender, velvety and juicy. Baking soda and salt on the other hand is not just there for flavour but also to give that extra crispiness which gets its concept from roast pork with skin on where we usually rub the skin with salt to achieve a nice crackling. Drying it also helps a better crispier texture hence we leave it uncovered in the fridge to evenly dry it out.

Before we start, definitely a good chicken like this needs a good companion so we will pair them with some Korean Style dip as well.

  5. As usual–an excellent post. That photograph makes me want to drop everything and shop for chicken wings! I’ve been using a similar recipe for chicken thighs. My mom used to make her Popcorn Chicken with cornstarch, but I was to lazy to see how she prepared them. I am a chicken wing junkie. I will even eat chicken wings for breakfast!
