Just Wing It Chicken Wings

Chef Azuki is amazing!  I just learned how to make delicious crispy chicken wings in 20 minutes. How, you ask?  Well here's a recipe that Chef Azuki remembered her sister making, but she didn't have the recipe on hand.  She decided to just wing it because she had less then an hour to make dinner for a meeting.  I was there to help cut up the wings in half and remove the tips while Chef Azuki prepared masegohan (recipe to follow in a future blog) and edamame.

Just Wing It Chicken Wings

1 package family pack chicken wings

1 1/2 tsp salt

1 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp crushed red pepper

1/2 C flour

oil

Directions

1.  Cut off chicken tips and discard, then cut wings in half (separating little drummettes 

     from mid sections)  and place wings in a large bowl.

2.  Add all the ingredients except oil onto chicken and toss together

3.  Microwave 1/2 the wings on a platter for 8 minutes, then second half while 

     you start to fry chicken

4.  Put 3/4" of oil in the bottom of a skillet or wok

5.  Heat oil on medium heat

6. Gently wipe any moisture off the bottom of the chicken if it is wet after microwaving

7.  When oil is hot, fry the chicken until golden brown (make sure it makes sizzling sound 

    when chicken is placed in the oil)

It cooks so quickly since you already microwaved it and it's moist!  Just perfect chicken and really  takes so much fry time out of making fried chicken.  She was out the door with her dinner in tow, within the hour.  Chef Azuki's Little BeaN came up with a great title!
