This is just one of the many ways to prepare chicken Korean-style. For a slightly different flavor, substitute honey for the sugar and add a sprinkling of toasted sesame seeds.
INGREDIENTS:
12 chicken wings (about 2 lbs.)
1/2 c. flour
1/3 c. soy sauce
1 tsp. lemon juice
2 tsp. oyster sauce
2 tbsp. sugar
1 clove garlic, peeled and finely chopped
1/4 tsp. finely chopped ginger root
vegetable oil for frying
METHOD:
1. Heat oven to 400°F. Spray a 13 x 9- inch pan with vegetable oil spray.
2. Cut each chicken wing at joints to make 3 pieces and discard tip. Cut off excess skin and discard.*
3. Put flour into a large plastic bag. Add chicken pieces, twist bag closed, and shake until chicken is completely coated with flour.
4. Place flour-coated chicken pieces in pan in a single layer. Bake uncovered for 15 minutes.
5. Combine soy sauce, lemon juice, oyster sauce, sugar, garlic, and ginger root in small pan. Bring to a boil over high heat. Remove from heat.

*If you purchase chicken pieces called drumettes, you won’t have to take time to cut up the wings.
