I used to buy Filipino fried chicken back home in Hawaii from manapua trucks.

Ingredients

1 cup cornstarch
0.5 cups white sugar
0.5 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons salt
1 teaspoon monosodium glutamate , such as Ajinomoto®
4 eggs , slightly beaten
0.5 bunches green onions , chopped
0.25 cups soy sauce , such as Aloha™ Shoyu
10 cloves garlic , minced
5 pounds chicken wings
vegetable oil for frying

Instructions

1

Combine cornstarch, sugar, flour, salt, and monosodium glutamate in a large bowl. Add eggs, green onions, soy sauce, and garlic. Pat chicken dry and add to the sauce. Cover and refrigerate until marinated, 8 hours to overnight.
2

Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Fry chicken in the hot oil until golden brown, 15 to 25 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
