Penang Delight Fried Chicken Wings

Delicious Fried Chicken Wings

We bought a lot of chicken wings from Foody Supermarket in Richmond a few days ago. I think, we have bought at least twenty pounds of the chicken wings in six bags. The only reason I bought so much was because of the irresistible price. The chicken wings were selling for less than two dollars a pound which was a really good deal. Anyway, I always stock up on chicken wings, chicken drumsticks, and chicken breast in the freezer. And the most likely places were we usually purchase them is in Chinatown, especially on Keefer Street, where there are a couple of wholesalers that distribute to Chinese restaurants. Their prices are usually the best. But we also watch out for deals at Save-On-Foods on chicken breast and No Frills on chicken wings.

Nowadays, I don't need to wait for Save-On-Foods or No Frills sales to stock up. Looks like I can get them even cheaper at Foody Supermarket.

So, once we got home from grocery shopping and picked up the kids from school, we started preparing some of the chicken wings for dinner. After cleaning, I marinated about two pounds of the chicken wings with dark soy sauce (two spoons), and preserved soy bean curd (three cubes). And allowed the chicken wings to set in the soy sauce mix for about two hours.

Once in a while I rub the mixture onto the chicken wings to make sure the chicken wings are marinated properly and evenly coated. Before the chicken wings go into the hot wok, add about two spoons of corn starch onto the chicken wings. Fry the chicken wings on a medium to high heat until they turned golden brown. The meat inside the chicken wings may not be cooked if it was cooked too fast on high heat. Use a chopstick or tongs to turn the chicken wings, making sure the skin turns golden brown on even sides. This Fried Chicken Wings is best enjoyed when they were still warm.
