does anyone have a clue

[elijahboy]

I have been searching long and hard for this simple recipe

Down south the chinese restaurants have fried chicken wings (i say down south cause when i lived in maryland they didnt sell it) but they are drooling good

the crust is extremely crispy and the skin of the chicken is like an orange or yellow tint i was wondering if this was a certain breed of chicken or did they marinate it in something special and what did they bread it in

does anyone have a recipe similar or even close

all it is is fried chicken wings but when i make them they are just plain fried chicken wings

what asian/chinese marinade would it be that makes the skin orange/yellow i have tried soaking the wings in soy sauce and

I don't know about the chicken itself.....but I've always thought they used TEMPURA for the coating.

 

[elijahboy]

is tempura a kind of flour

 

[tonini3059]

Tempura is a batter

I worked at tyson a time ago and we made them they are mardianed in a hot sauce and then coated with flour which has hot pepper in it.

thank you
maybe next time i will try that

and you buy it at a regular grocery store?

yes, the tempura is usually with the "ethnic/Chinese" food isle or where you would find the Shake-N-Bake type stuff.

It comes in an envelope or a box......you add the wet ingredients

soy sauce =

maybe try teryaki sauce

Let us know how it turns out!
