North Canton Style Chicken Wings
These wings are named for a Chinese restaurant that used to be in Philadelphia. For background, in Philly, particularly the less affluent areas, there is a Chinese take out place on every other corner. The food is cheap and usually not bad, and one of the most popular things are fried chicken wings. Usually they're just plain unbreaded wings fried whole with a bit of salt and pepper. North Canton was nothing special except for their wings. The first time I ate them I went right back and got another order. Incredible! Well I could never get the recipe out of them, and they ended up closing down. I've got a knack for reproducing recipes after I taste them, but this one took quite a bit of trying to get close enough to call a success. Here it is, for 10 whole wings:
Marinade:
4 oz soy sauce
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tbsp five spice
Mix ingredients in a one gallon zip loc bag along with 10 whole chicken wings and marinate at least 2 hours, overnight is better.
Sauce:
2 oz soy sauce
2 oz honey
1 tsp five spice
pinch of garlic powder
Shake excess marinade off the wings and cook to doneness. Deep frying, roasting or grilling all give good results.
Place wings in a large bowl with the sauce and toss to coat lightly.
Enjoy!
