The ingredients did not make a paste, it was too dry, so I had to add almost a cup of liquid. If adding sugar to the recipe, which it called for, I would also make a teriyaki sauce to drizzle over the end result. Otherwise, I would not even add the sugar to the coating but leave it with salt pepper, garlic and onion. Great fried chicken wings!
