Crispy Garlic Chicken... wings. After a long time of trying to figure out Cantonese crispy skin chicken sans oven, we just could never quite figure out the whole bird. A hacked together wing version, though, turned out delicious enough.0:00 - Intro: the unobtainable chicken1:07 - Marinate and Poach2:10 - Coat with Crispy Skin Liquid3:20 - Dry, with fan or fridge4:13 - 3 Methods to Cook4:30 - 1, Oil Ladling5:06 - 2, Shallow Fry5:48 - 3, Oil & Bake6:17 - Intro to Garlic Sand (风沙)6:46 - How to Make Deep Fried Garlic7:42 - Make the Garlic Sand8:18 - How Crispy is Crispy?INGREDIENTS20-30 chicken wings (鸡中翅) - flats are preferable here.For the marinade:* Peeled garlic, 500g -or- three heads of garlic, peeled.* Soy sauce (生抽), 100g* Fish sauce (鱼露), 100g* Salt, 45g* Chicken Bouillon Powder (鸡粉), 15g * Garlic powder, optional, 1 tsp* Water, 1 literNote: if you're looking to cut down on garlic quantity, you can go all the way down to 2 heads of garlic if you up the garlic powder quantity to, say, 2 tsp.For the crispy skin liquid:* 1 part maltose (麦芽糖) -or- golden syrup -or- cheap honey, ~15g* 3 parts vinegar (白醋), ~45g* Squeeze of lemon, ~3g Note: Chinese white vinegar is 3.5% acetic acid compared to Heinz's 5%. So if you're using Heinz, let's just minimize variables here and call for 1 part maltose/syrup, 1 part water, 2 parts Heinz white vinegarFor the garlic sand:* Deep fried garlic, 25g -or- 30g garlic and 30g shallot (干葱) if frying yourself* Panko (preferably Chinese style), 25g* Chicken bouillon powder (鸡粉), 5g* Salt, 1/4 tsp* Sugar, 1/4 tsp* MSG (味精), 1/4 tspPROCESSThe way I'd personally organize myself here is to start the previous evening. Make the marinade (1:24), marinate the wings (1:36). As I'm marinating the wings, I'd mince/deep fry the garlic (6:46) and the shallot & make the garlic sand - that stuff'll definitely last til the next day (keep at room temperature though). Make the crispy skin liquid (2:33). That should have given you about 60-90 minutes of marination time, which's good enough. Poach (1:55), rinse (3:00), coat with the crispy skin liquid (3:09). Toss in the fridge.Next day a bit before dinnertime, evaluate the wings (4:07). If they're a little on the wet side, finish them in front of the fan for an hour. Then just go ahead with your cooking method of choice (4:14)! Remember the pre-oiling (5:49) though with either the oven or the air fryer - it's an easy step to forget. And in case you didn't catch that note in the video, for the air fryer, go with 11 minutes at 400 Fahrenheit (205C).
