How to make Salted Egg Yolk Fried Chicken Wings
- Step 1
Cut and divide the chicken into mid wings and drummets and give a shallow cut to the wings.
- Step 2
Marinate the wings with oyster sauce, soy sauce, and white pepper for half an hour.
- Step 3
Combine the tapioca flour and baking powder on a plate. Coat each piece of chicken with tapioca flour, shaking off excess, and fry deep until golden brown. Remove them from the wok.
- Step 4
Wait until the oil reaches back the temperature once more, put back the fried chicken into it and let it fry for another 2 to 3 seconds to make it extra crispy.
- Step 5
Heat up the wok and melt the butter. Fry the curry leaves and diced chilies until aromatic.
- Step 6
Add mashed egg yolks and sugar. Let the mixture boil and bubble. Add the fried chicken to the egg yolk mixture, stir over low heat until all the chicken wings are thoroughly coated.
