Ingredients

• Chicken wings - 500 grams
• Gluten-free soy sauce - 2 tablespoons
• Rice vinegar - 1 tablespoon
• Honey - 1 tablespoon
• Garlic powder - 1 teaspoon
• Ginger powder - 1 teaspoon
• Five-spice powder - 1/2 teaspoon
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• Cornstarch - 3 tablespoons
• Vegetable oil - for frying

Steps

1. In a large bowl, mix the gluten-free soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, garlic powder, ginger powder, five-spice powder, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
2. Add the chicken wings to the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse.
3. After marinating, remove the wings from the fridge and drain excess marinade. Pat the wings dry with paper towels.
4. In a shallow dish, coat the wings with cornstarch evenly, shaking off any excess.
5. Heat vegetable oil in a deep frying pan or wok over medium-high heat until it reaches 180°C (350°F).
6. Carefully add the wings to the hot oil in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 8-10 minutes or until golden brown and crispy, turning occasionally.
7. Remove the wings from the oil and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil. Serve hot.
