Ingredients:

Servings: 4

Honey Garlic Sauce

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 -4 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 cup honey
• 1/4 cup soya sauce
• 1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper

Flour Coating Mixture

• 2 cups flour
• 2 tablespoons powdered ginger
• 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• salt
• 1 tablespoon fresh ground black pepper

The Rest

• 2 eggs, slightly beaten
• 4 tablespoons cold water
• 3 lbs chicken wings, trimmed and cut into sections
• vegetable oil

Directions:

1. For the sauce: In a medium sauce pan, cook over medium heat the olive oil and garlic to slightly soften; do not let it brown. Add the honey, soya sauce and black pepper. Continue to cook over medium heat and simmer sauce for 5-10 minutes, watching carefully as it simmers because it can foam up and overflow. Remove from heat and allow to cool thoroughly; set aside.
2. The coating: Mix together the 'coating mixture'; set aside.
3. The wash: In a seperate bowl, whisk together the slightly beaten eggs and cold water.
4. Wash and pat dry the wing sections. Dip the wing pieces into the egg wash and then toss into the flour mixture to evenly coat.
5. Drop the coated wings into a preheated 350 degree F deep fryer, filled with vegetable oil.
6. Fry until golden brown, about 15-20 min depending on the size of the wing pieces. While still hot out of the oil, toss the wing pieces in a large bowl with some of the honey garlic sauce.
