Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 6 servings

  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour for coating

  • 3 pounds chicken wings

  • 1 cup butter

Sauce:

  • 1 cup white sugar

  • ½ cup white vinegar

  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce

  • 3 tablespoons water

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder, or to taste

Directions

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

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

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

  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.

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

  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).
