• 1 lb(450g)chicken wings

• 2 tablespoons soy sauce

• 2 tablespoons sake(Japanese rice wine)

• 2 cloves garlic,minced

• 1-inch piece ginger,grated

• 1 egg,beaten

• 1/2 cup potato starch(or cornstarch)

• Vegetable oil(for frying)

Marinate the Chicken Wings:

In a large bowl,combine soy sauce,sake,minced garlic,and grated ginger.

Add the chicken wings to the marinade and mix well to coat.Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes,preferably 1-2 hours for better flavor.

Prepare for Frying:

In a shallow dish,beat the egg.

Place the potato starch in another shallow dish.

Heat vegetable oil in a large,deep skillet or frying pan to 350°F(175°C).

Coat the Chicken Wings:

Dip each marinated chicken wing into the beaten egg,then dredge in the potato starch,ensuring an even coating.

Fry the Chicken Wings:

Carefully place the coated chicken wings into the hot oil,frying in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding.

Fry the wings for about 8-10 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy,turning occasionally for even cooking.

Remove the wings from the oil and drain on paper towels.
