Super Flaky Chinese Chicken Wings

There is a famous Chinese restaurant in Tokyo called “Shanwei”.

Super Flaky Chinese Chicken Wings is the signature dish there. This recipe is a home version of that dish.

There is no reason why it can’t be delicious made with chicken wings, so I made an arrangement of my signature fried chicken wings and it turned out AMAZING.

The spices can be arranged as you wish. If you like it spicy, you can leave the chili seeds in, or if you like it sweet, you can add a little bit of sugar. If you can find them, try using fried shallots. If you don’t have them, substitute fried onions. If you don’t have any, you can substitute fried onions.

“Finger licking good” is exactly what this recipe is!

It is recommended as it goes well with beer as well as the Dragon Highball.
