Japanese Chicken Wings

Ingredients

• 1 large egg , lightly beaten
• 1 cup all-purpose flour for coating
• 3 pounds chicken wings
• 1 cup butter

Instructions

1. 1

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

2. 2

   Place beaten egg in a small bowl. Place flour in a shallow bowl.

3. 3

   Cut wings in half. Dip each piece in egg, then press in flour to coat.

4. 4

   Melt butter in a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat. Fry coated wings in hot butter until deep brown on both sides. Place in a shallow roasting pan.

5. 5

   Make sauce: Mix together sugar, vinegar, soy sauce, water, salt, and garlic powder in a medium bowl until combined. Pour over wings.

6. 6

   Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 45 minutes, basting wings frequently with sauce in the roasting pan. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the centers of wings near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
