Japanese Chicken Wings

This recipe has been a favourite of my family's since the 80's. The sheet of paper that it is written on is tattered and torn from so much use, that I have taken to taping it inside a kitchen cupboard door so it won't fall apart. These wings are gooey good and will become a keeper once you try them.

• Ready In: 45 mins
• Serves: 4

Ingredients

• 3  lbs chicken wings
• 1  egg
• 1  cup flour
• 1  cup butter
• 3  tablespoons soya sauce
• 3  tablespoons water
• 1  cup white sugar
• 1⁄2 cup white vinegar
• 1⁄2 teaspoon salt

Directions

1. Cut wings in half and remove tips. Dip into slightly beaten egg and then into flour. Fry in butter until deep brown and crisp. Lay in a single layer in a shallow roasting pan.
2. In a bowl, add the soya sauce, water, sugar, vinegar and salt. Mix well to circulate the sugar and then pour over the wings. Bake at 350 degrees for half an hour or until the sauce thickens. Use a baster to coat the wings with the sauce during cooking.
