Notes

Cooking Tips for Salted Egg Chicken Wings:

Achieve Maximum Crispiness

For perfectly crispy chicken wings, make sure to coat them evenly with the flour and cornstarch mixture. Shaking the wings in a sealed plastic bag with the breading ensures full coverage. Fry the wings in hot oil at a consistent temperature to get that golden, crunchy texture.

Master the Salted Egg Yolk Sauce

Mash the salted egg yolks until smooth to avoid lumps in your sauce. Saute the garlic in butter until slightly browned to bring out its rich aroma before adding the egg yolk. Stir well and let the sauce simmer for a few seconds before tossing the wings to ensure even coating.

Control the Heat for Extra Flavor

If you prefer a spicy kick, add chili flakes or siling labuyo to the sauce while it’s still in the pan. Adjust the amount of chili to suit your spice tolerance, but make sure not to overpower the rich salted egg flavor. A little heat balances the creamy sauce perfectly without being overwhelming.
