Directions

Ingredients :

3 pounds chicken wings, cut at joints, wing tips discarded

1 teaspoon salt

½ cup vegetable oil for frying, or as needed

1 cup cornstarch

3 large eggs, beaten

½ cup red currant jelly

½ cup white sugar

½ cup white vinegar

¼ cup soy sauce

3 tablespoons ketchup

2 tablespoons lemon juice

Methods :

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Step 2

Pat wings dry and sprinkle with salt. Roll wing sections in cornstarch until all are coated. Dip in beaten eggs until coated evenly.

Step 3

Heat oil in a large frying pan to about 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

Step 4

Deep fry 4 to 6 wings at a time in the hot oil until light golden brown, about 5 minutes. Drain on paper towels then transfer to a shallow baking pan.

Step 5

Combine jelly, sugar, vinegar, soy sauce, ketchup, and lemon juice in a small saucepan and heat to boiling, stirring constantly. Lower heat and simmer until all jelly is dissolved, about 10 minutes. Pour sauce over chicken.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven until wings are browned, no longer pink in the centers, and juices run clear, 30 to 40 minutes.
