Sauce Preparation
- In a small cold pan, combine 2 tbsp Japanese soy sauce, 1 tbsp mirin, 1 tbsp sake, ½ tbsp honey, and ½ tbsp toasted white sesame seeds along with 1 clove grated garlic. Mix until blended, then place the pan over medium heat and bring to a boil.
- Once boiling, lower the heat and let the sauce simmer until it has reduced by half, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside to cool and thicken.
Wing Preparation
- In a large frying pan, pour in cooking oil to a depth of about 2 cm (1 inch). Heat the oil over medium-low until it reaches 160 °C (320 °F).
- While the oil is heating, sprinkle both sides of the 8 chicken wings with 1 pinch salt and 1 pinch ground black pepper, making sure to rub them evenly for flavor.
- In a bowl, mix 1 tbsp cornstarch and 1 tbsp all-purpose flour. Coat each seasoned wing in this mixture, ensuring they are evenly covered for that extra crispy texture.
- Carefully place the coated chicken wings in the hot oil, frying for 3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
- Increase the heat to 190 °C (374 °F) and fry for an additional 1 minute on each side, allowing for maximum crispiness.
- Use a slotted spoon to remove the wings from the oil and place them on a wire rack. This allows any excess oil to drip off, ensuring they stay crispy.
- With a pastry brush, generously apply the delicious sauce all over the fried wings, ensuring they are well-coated. Sprinkle with ground white pepper for an added kick.
- Plate your Yamachan Chicken Wings and serve hot, inviting everyone to dig in and savor the delightful flavors!
