Gam Pong "Lollipop" Wings

Prep time: 30 MinCook time: 25 MinTotal time: 55 Min

Ingredients

For the Chicken Wings

• 2 pounds chicken wings, frenched
• 2 cups Potato Starch
• White Pepper, to taste
• Kosher Salt, to taste
• 1 tsp MSG

Gam Pong Sauce

• 2 tsp chili flakes
• 1/4 cup neutral oil
• 6 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 Tbsp ginger, minced
• 1/4 cup Chinese black vinegar (Chinkiang)
• 1/4 cup dark soy sauce
• 2 Tbsp light soy sauce
• 1/3 cup ketchup
• 1/4 cup corn syrup or honey
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1 tsp MSG
• 1 tsp white pepper

Instructions

1. Prep the chicken wings to “lollipops” using the technique in the video. Season lightly with salt and coat in potato starch.
2. Fry wings at 350°F (190°C) until golden and crisp, fry for a second time at 375F until golden brown. Set aside on a rack.
3. Pour the 3 tbsp of oil in a small sauce pan and bring it to 300F. Cut the heat then carefully add chili flake, garlic and ginger. Allow this to cool fully.
4. In a separate small sauce pot, stir together the black vinegar, dark soy, ketchup, corn syrup, MSG, and white pepper. Simmer until things thicken slightly, about 1–2 minutes
5. Pour in cooled infused oil into the soy sauce mixture and whisk until homogenous.
6. Coat the wings in the sauce
7. • 7. Serve in one of two ways. The first option is to dip each individual wing in sauce and plate up for a clean eating experience. The second (spicier and more fun) option, fire up the wok and stirfry the Jals and onion with the chicken, pour in the sauce, and serve in a bowl. If tossed correctly, you shouldn’t need extra sauce.
