Instructions

For the Wings

Step 1

Wash, trim excess skin and fat and cut the wings into pieces, discarding the tips. Pat dry with paper towels.

Step 2

Mix together the flour, nutmeg, cayenne pepper, five spice powder, sea salt, black pepper and ground ginger.

Step 3

Prepare an egg wash by whisking together the eggs and milk.

Step 4

Dredge the egg washed wings in the flour mixture and drop them in a canola oil filled and preheated 350 degree F deep fryer for about 8-10 minutes or little longer for larger wings, until a medium golden brown.

Step 5

Drain on a wire rack placed on a cookie sheet. Hold in a 175 degree oven if making more than one batch.

For the Glaze

Step 6

Add the oil and garlic to a small saucepan.

Step 7

Saute over medium heat until the garlic is softened but not browned.

Step 8

Add the remaining ingredients and simmer slowly for about 15-20 minutes or until the volume had reduced and the sauce is thick enough to coat the back of a wooden spoon.

Step 9

Pour over all the cooked wings in a large bowl and toss well to cover the wings in the glaze before serving.

Step 10

You can also just serve the glaze as a dipping sauce if you prefer.
