Follow The Directions

01

Step

In a large glass or ceramic bowl, combine the finely chopped green onions, soy sauce, beaten eggs, sugar, minced garlic, and Hawaiian sea salt. (5 minutes)

02

Step

Sift together the cornstarch, mochiko (glutinous rice flour), and all-purpose flour. Gradually add the sifted dry ingredients to the bowl with the wet ingredients, folding until a smooth batter forms. (10 minutes)

03

Step

Add the chicken wings or thighs to the batter, ensuring each piece is thoroughly coated. (5 minutes)

04

Step

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 8 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to fully develop. (8+ hours)

05

Step

Remove the marinated chicken from the refrigerator and stir to redistribute the marinade. (2 minutes)

06

Step

Heat the oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot or deep fryer to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Use a thermometer to ensure accurate temperature. (15 minutes)

07

Step

Carefully lower the chicken wings into the hot oil in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pot. (5 minutes per batch)

08

Step

Fry the chicken wings until they are golden brown and cooked through, approximately 6-8 minutes per batch. (8 minutes per batch)

09

Step

Remove the fried chicken wings from the oil and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil. (2 minutes per batch)

10

Step

Repeat the frying process with the remaining chicken wings, ensuring the oil temperature remains consistent. (Varies)

11

Step

Serve immediately and enjoy the crispy, flavorful Mochiko Chicken Wings.

For extra crispy wings, double-fry them! Fry once as directed, let them cool slightly, then fry them again for a minute or two until extra golden brown.
If you don't have Hawaiian sea salt, regular sea salt will work just fine.
Mochiko flour can be found in most Asian grocery stores or online. It's what gives these wings their unique, slightly chewy texture.
Adjust the sugar to your taste. If you prefer a less sweet wing, reduce the sugar by half a tablespoon.
