Ladies and gentlemen, let me introduce you to your next late-night obsession: Crispy Chinese Salt and Pepper Wings! Trust me, once you try these bad boys, you’ll never look at midnight snacking the same way again. 🍗✨
As someone who’s notorious for raiding the fridge at ungodly hours (no judgment, we’ve all been there!), I’ve perfected this recipe that’ll make your taste buds dance at 2 AM. These wings are the perfect balance of crispy, salty, and just a tiny bit spicy – exactly what you need when those late-night cravings hit!
Ingredients (because we need to be organized, even at midnight):
– 1 pound chicken wings
– 2 tablespoons Shaoxing wine (or rice wine)
– 3 cloves garlic, minced
– 2 green onions, chopped
– 2 tablespoons salt and pepper mix
– 1 cup cornstarch
– Oil for frying

Now, let’s get cooking (and try not to wake up the entire house):
1. First, marinate those wings in Shaoxing wine for about 15 minutes. While waiting, you can scroll through TikTok – I won’t judge!
1. Mix your cornstarch with a pinch of salt and pepper. Coat each wing like you’re giving it a warm, floury hug.
1. Heat your oil in a deep pan or wok (medium-high heat, folks – we want crispy, not charred!)
1. Fry those babies for about 8-10 minutes until they’re golden brown and singing your favorite tune. Work in batches – nobody likes a crowded party!
1. While the wings are doing their thing, prepare your aromatics. In a separate pan, quickly stir-fry your minced garlic and half of the green onions with the salt and pepper mix.
1. Toss your crispy wings in this aromatic mixture until they’re well-coated. Sprinkle the remaining green onions on top because we’re fancy like that! 💁♀️
Pro tip: Serve these bad boys with a side of sriracha mayo if you’re feeling extra spicy tonight!
