Fun with Chicken wings, Spicy Sweet and Sour Sauce, Peanut Butter Sauce
So I was wanting a wide mouth deep cooking tool (it helps avoid grease splatters all over the stove). A wok is soooo versatile. I found this one for $5. I don't like the wooden handles (they tend to deteriorate fast), but it might work out just fine over the long haul. It was so much fun cutting up the chicken wings and coating them with a mixture of corn starch, all purpose flour (I think self-rising flour would have produced an even crispier crust) to which I should have added baking powder but I forgot, salt, and pepper. I fried the wings twice. Yes! Fry for about 6 minutes on each side, remove, then fry the whole batch a second time for about 5 - 10 minutes... to add to the crispiness! I've been anxious to try this homemade spicy, sweet, and sour sauce. In a food processor, I chopped nectarines, apricots, ginger, red pepper flakes...
