Ingredients:

Pupu Chicken Wings

  • Vegetable oil for frying
  • 1 cup flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 5 pounds chicken drumettes
  • 2 cups low-sodium shoyu
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried red chili peppers or to taste
  • 8 green onions, chopped, divided

Directions:

  1. In a large frying pan, add oil until about half full and heat over medium to medium high heat.
  2. Put flour, salt, and pepper into a plastic or paper bag, shake to mix.
  3. Put a few pieces of chicken into bag and shake to coat, shaking off excess flour.
  4. Fry chicken, a few pieces at a time in hot oil, about 15 minutes or until cooked, adjusting heat if necessary.
  5. Meanwhile, in a large pot, add shoyu, sugar, garlic, chili peppers, and half of the green onions and heat on low.
  6. When the sugar melts and flavors meld, turn off heat; set aside.
  7. As chicken finishes, using tongs, shake off excess oil from chicken and lightly dip into shoyu mixture.
  8. Shake off excess shoyu mixture and place chicken in a serving pan.
  9. Continue until all chicken is done, then sprinkle remaining green onions as garnish.
