Could you describe this dish a bit more, please? I notice you're from West England and maybe there are some regional differences in the dishes there than over here. Where do you usually purchase the dish - in a restaurant or in a carryout? What do they look like & taste like? More information please so we can help you.

It's deep fried chicken wings and then lightly refried with some spices, spring onions, chili etc. I get them from the restaurant and take aways. I'll post a photo of the dish when I get them next time - tomorrow?

I don't have a formal recipe. But this dish should be very simple.

Marinate the chicken wings with some light soy sauce. About 0.5 to 1 tsp per wing. Marinate for an hour or so. If you can, place the wings over a rack or something to hang them dry. Better: chain them up and set on a small fan to blow on them, so that the skin will dry up to the touch (before frying).

Use frying oil, high heat, 400F or so... deep-fry the chicken wings until golden brown. Remove.

To make the seasoning: Use a different pan or wok (or remove the frying oil and clean the wok), use only a little bit of cooking oil, high heat... fry up some minced garlic and sliced chili. Then add some salt and ground Sichuan peppercorns (best -dry-roast them first then grind them). Stir the mixture well. Then return the chicken wings so that they will coat on the "salt and pepper" seasoning. Done.

hzrt8w,

In the early 80's we used to go feast on wings from a chinese restaurant in Marietta GA. What set their wings apart was that there was no breading to speak of, just a very thin but very tasty (spicy/savory) coating of some kind, which had bits of crispy ginger and scallion pieces stuck on. That place has long been gone and I haven't found any other chinese place that comes close.

I've tried to recreate that experience by trying different batters, but have had no luck. I think the wings were probably marinated for a while before being coated, but

can't say for sure.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.
