Japanese Chicken Wings

Chicken wings are egged and fried in butter, then baked in a tangy sauce of soy sauce, water, sugar, vinegar, garlic powder and salt. Delicious, sticky chicken wings

Ingredients:

* 3 pounds chicken wings
* 1 egg, lightly beaten
* 1 cup all-purpose flour for coating
* 1 cup butter
* SAUCE
* 3 tablespoons soy sauce
* 3 tablespoons water
* 1 cup white sugar
* 1/2 cup white vinegar
* 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, or to taste
* 1 teaspoon salt

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2. Cut wings in half, dip in egg and coat with flour.
3. Heat butter in a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat. Fry wings until deep brown. Place in a shallow roasting pan.
4. In a small bowl combine soy sauce, water, sugar, vinegar, garlic powder and salt. Pour over wings.
5. Bake in preheated oven for 30 to 45 minutes, basting wings with sauce often.

Tips
I oven fried my wings (seasoned them with season salt, garlic and pepper) and floured them. I didnt use the egg, instead after I floured them I sprayed them with pam. They came out nice and crispy, I baked them at 400. After they were "fried" in the oven, I added the sauce and it was perfect. Great recipe and I was glad that I was able to make them healthier by oven frying them. I will definitely make them again.
