    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

    • Sugar
    • shallot
    • butter

    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.
