Ingredients
Marinade
- 12 chicken wing center sections
- 1 cup Red, White and No-Li Pale Ale
- 1/2 cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 tbsp. Mirin (Japanese sweet rice wine)
- ¼ cup sweet soy sauce (Indonesian thick sweet soy sauce)
- 2 tbsp. Red, White and No-Li Pale Ale
- 1/2 cup Red, White and No-Li Pale Ale
- 1/4 cup Mirin
- 1 tbsp. low sodium soy sauce
- 1 tsp. grated ginger
- 1 tsp. minced garlic
- 1 tbsp. sliced green onion
- Dash dried red chile flakes
- 1 ½ cups shredded iceberg lettuce
- 1 tbsp. sliced green onions
- Fresh lemon wedges
- 1/2 cup corn starch
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup Red, White and No-Li Pale Ale
- 1 tsp. each garlic powder, onion powder, paprika
- 1/2 tsp. each salt and black pepper)
- Vegetable oil for frying, (2 quarts to 1 gallon container will work)
Directions
- Start with the marinade. In a bowl, combine the ale, low-sodium soy sauce and Mirin. Add the chicken wings and toss, coating the wings with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate the wings and marinate for 2 hours.
- Sweet Soy Glaze
- Combine the sweet soy sauce and ale in a small saucepan and bring to the boil. Remove from the heat and let the glaze cool. Reserve for spooning glaze around wings and salad.
- Making the Salad
- While the wings are marinating, make the salad dressing. Combine the ale, Mirin, soy sauce, ginger, garlic, green onion, chile flakes and black pepper in a bowl and stir. Refrigerate the dressing until ready to serve.
- Just before serving, combine the shredded lettuce and green onions in a bowl and toss with ¼ cup of the dressing.
- Batter Directions
- Combine all the batter ingredients in a bowl and whisk. The batter should have a loose consistency. Add more ale if the batter is too thick.
- Heat the vegetable oil about 4" deep in a deep-fryer or heavy stockpot to 350. (I use a home deep-fryer and a one-gallon container of canola oil. A heavy stockpot would use about 2 quarts of canola oil).
- Take the wings out of the marinade and drain. Dip the wings in the batter and deep-fry until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Drain the wings on paper towels.
- Place a bed of the lettuce on a plate and place the wings on top. Drizzle some of the sweet soy glaze around the plate. Serve with fresh lemon wedges.
