Step-by-step cooking
Step 1:
Prepare all the necessary ingredients. Of course, take the wings chilled - frozen chicken loses most of its nutrients. You can take the whole wing, as I did. Or only the largest phalanx of the wing, or cut off the thinnest - this is if you like more meat. But if you like to gnaw the bones more, then the fleshiest part can be cut off and used in other dishes.
Step 2:
Wash the wings well and be sure to dry them with paper napkins. We will fry the wings in oil, so even a drop of moisture will lead to a lot of splashes.
Step 3:
Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan. The oil can be anything from sunflower to olive, but make sure to use only refined types of oil when frying - such oils do not burn during heat treatment.
Step 4:
Cover with a lid and press tightly, as they do when cooking tobacco chicken in a frying pan. Fry over medium heat for about 8-10 minutes. The wings should be well fried and browned.
Step 5:
Gently flip the wings and fry on the other side for about 10 more minutes. You can not cover the wings with a lid. Fry to the desired degree of browning.
Step 6:
Pour in the soy sauce. Pay great attention to the choice of this product. Now there are a huge number of cheap versions of this sauce in stores, but do not rush and do not chase a low price. Choose soy sauce of natural fermentation - this is the key to its quality! Simmer the wings for about 5 minutes - the soy sauce will thicken.
Step 7:
Salt the wings if necessary. Soy sauce is very salty, so salt may not be needed at all. But according to your taste, you can add pepper, garlic and other seasonings or herbs. Maybe thyme or Provencal herbs!
Step 8:
Sprinkle the finished wings with sesame seeds and serve immediately. Very similar to a Chinese dish. Bon appetit!
