  • When the deep-fryer is ready, fry the chicken wings for 8 minutes or until they are light brown.

  • Heat up all the ingredients in the Glaze in a small saucepan on low heat. Simmer until the glaze slightly thicken. Add the wings into the saucepan and toss around to make sure that each wing is lightly coated with the Glaze. Shake off the extra Glaze off each wing and transfer the wings to a bowl.
