Ingredients you need for your salted egg fried chicken wings:

• Chicken wings
• cooking wine
• soy sauce
• salt
• black pepper
• chinese 5 spice
• ginger
• oil
• eggs
• corn starch
• salted duck egg yolk (yolk only, no egg white)
• oyster sauce
• garlic
• Sugar

Steps to make the salted egg fried chicken wings:

• Step 1. Marinade chicken wings in 1.5 tablespoons cooking wine, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 1 teaspoon salt, ¼ pepper, ½ teaspoon Chinese 5 spice, and ½ tbs ginger for 30 minutes.
• Step 2. Beat 2 eggs and add a pinch of salt in a bowl. Place 1 cup cornstarch on a plate. Dip wings in cornstarch, then egg, then in cornstarch again. Leave wings on the plate for 15 minutes before frying to ensure batter will stick on the wings when frying.
• Step 3. Heat 3 cups of oil to 350F in a pot (medium heat). To check if the oil is hot enough, add a little cornstarch and see if the cornstarch starts to bubble. If yes, then fry wings for roughly 7 minutes (they will be a light blonde color). Cooking Tip: Make sure that you don’t overcrowd the wings. This will result in a soggy and oily wing. After frying, place on a wire rack or on top of paper towels.
• Step 4. Heat oil to 400F (medium-high heat). Fry the wings again until they turn golden brown for 2-3 minutes. Place on a wire rack or on top of paper towels.
• Step 5. To make the sauce, start by cutting the salted duck eggs in half and scoop out the egg yolks. Then mix the egg yolks with 2 cloves of minced garlic, ½ teaspoon sugar, and 1 teaspoon oyster sauce.
• Step 6. In a pan, heat up 1 tablespoon of butter and saute minced shallots for 1-2 minutes. Then add the egg yolk mixture and fry for 2 minutes. Add wings in the pan and coat the wings with egg yolk sauce.
