Ingredients

• 1 cup butter
• 1 cup white sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 3 tablespoons water
• 1 large egg, lightly beaten
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 cup all-purpose flour for coating
• 3 pounds chicken wings
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder, or to taste
• 0.5 cup white vinegar

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Step 2

Place beaten egg in a small bowl. Place flour in a shallow bowl.

Step 3

Cut wings in half. Dip each piece in egg, then press in flour to coat.

Step 4

Melt butter in a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat. Fry coated wings in hot butter until deep brown on both sides. Place in a shallow roasting pan.

Step 5

Make sauce: Mix together sugar, vinegar, soy sauce, water, salt, and garlic powder in a medium bowl until combined. Pour over wings.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 45 minutes, basting wings frequently with sauce in the roasting pan. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the centers of wings near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
