Instructions
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Begin by boiling the chicken wings in a pot of water until they are cooked through. Once cooked, allow them to simmer for a little while to infuse more flavor. |
| 2 | In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs until well combined. You may need to add more eggs as you go, depending on the quantity of wings you’re preparing. |
| 3 | In a separate dish, place the all-purpose flour. |
| 4 | Dip each chicken wing into the flour, ensuring it’s evenly coated, then dip it into the beaten egg mixture. |
| 5 | Heat a frying pan over medium heat and add enough oil to cover the bottom. |
| 6 | Carefully place the coated chicken wings into the frying pan and fry until they are golden brown, turning them only once to ensure even cooking. |
| 7 | Once browned, transfer the chicken wings to a 9×13-inch cake pan, arranging them in a single layer. |
| 8 | In a saucepan, combine the chicken broth, brown sugar, vinegar, ketchup, soy sauce, and salt. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the sugar is fully dissolved and the sauce is well combined. |
| 9 | Pour the prepared sauce over the chicken wings in the cake pan, ensuring they are evenly coated. |
| 10 | Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). |
| 11 | Place the cake pan in the preheated oven and bake for 1 1/2 hours, turning the chicken wings occasionally to ensure they are evenly coated and cooked to perfection. |
| 12 | Once done, remove the chicken wings from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving. |
