Make crispy and juicy salt and pepper chicken wings that are bursting with flavor using this oven baked method. The wings are marinated briefly, lightly breaded and baked until golden crispy, then cooked with aromatics and spices for a rich flavor.
When it comes to dishes that win over a crowd, few can compete with the irresistible crunch and bold flavor of salt and pepper chicken wings. This Chinese classic is a fan favorite, and it’s no surprise that it has become a staple for gatherings, especially during Chinese New Year.
The wings are marinated in soy sauce and wine for a deeper flavor. Then lightly coated with cornstarch to create a golden crispy surface in the oven. You will finish up with the final step on the stove, tossing the wings with shallots, chilis, scallion, garlic, white pepper and a touch of five spice. Every bite delivers a symphony of savory, spicy, and aromatic notes.
This dish is incredibly satisfying because it offers everything we love in party food: bold flavor, crunchy texture, and finger-licking goodness.
