How to Make Tebasaki Japanese Style Deep Fried Chicken Wings

  1. Make a cut along the bone of each chicken wing, separating the drumette and wingette.
  2. In a bowl, lightly toss 1.5 lbs of chicken wings with 1/2 cup all-purpose flour until evenly coated.
  3. Heat 1 inch of vegetable oil in a large skillet or deep fryer over medium-low heat (around 300°F/150°C).
  4. Carefully place the chicken wings in the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for 8 minutes, until lightly browned.
  5. Remove the wings from the oil and set aside on a wire rack or paper towel-lined plate.
  6. Increase the heat to medium-high (around 350°F/175°C). Return the wings to the oil and fry for another 2-3 minutes, until golden brown and crispy.
  7. Remove the wings and place them on a wire rack or paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
  8. In a small saucepan, whisk together 1/4 cup sake, 1/4 cup mirin, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 2 tablespoons sugar (or honey), and 1 teaspoon garlic powder. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves and the sauce slightly thickens (about 2-3 minutes).
  9. Add the fried chicken wings to the saucepan and toss gently to coat them evenly with the sauce.
  10. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  11. Garnish with 1 tablespoon white sesame seeds and serve immediately. Enjoy!
