Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon distilled white vinegar
• 1 drop red food coloring
• 4 tablespoons cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon soy sauce
• 10 chicken wings
• 1 teaspoon chopped garlic
• 1 teaspoon finely chopped green chile peppers
• 0.5 teaspoon chili powder
• 2 quarts canola oil for frying, or as needed

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Heat oil in a deep fryer or large saucepan to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

Step 2

Whisk salt, soy sauce, vinegar, garlic, green chiles, chili powder, and red food coloring together in a large bowl until even in color.

Step 3

Push meat down to one end on each chicken wing; add wings to marinade and toss to evenly coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

Step 4

Remove wings from marinade and shake off excess; mix cornstarch with marinade in the bowl to make a batter. Dip wings in the batter to coat.

Step 5

Lower wings carefully into the hot oil working in batches if needed; fry until cooked through and crispy, about 10 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
