_Sips tea_ Ladies and gentlemen, let me tell you about my absolute favorite midnight craving that’ll make your taste buds dance – Crispy Chinese Salt and Pepper Wings! Trust me, once you try these bad boys, you’ll be sneaking to the kitchen at midnight just like I do! 😉
You know those moments when you’re binge-watching your favorite show and suddenly need something absolutely irresistible? Well, honey, I’ve got you covered with this restaurant-quality recipe that’s actually super easy to make at home.
What you’ll need:
– 1 pound chicken wings
– 2 tablespoons Chinese five-spice powder
– 3 cloves minced garlic
– 2 chopped green onions
– 1-2 fresh chopped jalapeños (depending on how spicy you like it!)
– Salt and white pepper to taste
– Cornstarch for coating
– Oil for frying
Okay, let’s get cooking! 🔥
First, pat those wings dry with paper towels – nobody likes soggy wings, right? Mix your five-spice powder with salt and white pepper, then massage it all over those wings like you’re giving them a spa treatment. Let them marinate for at least 30 minutes (perfect time to scroll through TikTok, just saying!).

Now, coat each wing in cornstarch and shake off the excess. Heat your oil to 375°F (or until a drop of water sizzles). Carefully drop those wings in and fry until golden brown and crispy (about 8-10 minutes).
While they’re frying, quickly stir-fry your garlic, jalapeños, and green onions in a separate pan until fragrant. Once your wings are done, toss them with this aromatic mixture and get ready for heaven in your mouth!
The result? Crispy, juicy wings with that perfect balance of salt, pepper, and Chinese spices that’ll have you licking your fingers shamelessly (no judgment here, girl!).
Y’all, I can’t even tell you how many times I’ve made these at midnight when the craving hits. My husband always gives me that “again?” look, but then he’s right there stealing pieces off my plate! 🙄
