Golden fried chicken wings are an iconic dish of American cuisine, symbolizing friendly gatherings and sports nights. Their crispy crust and rich aroma of garlic, soy sauce, and ginger create a flavorful taste with a hint of spiciness. The wings are first marinated in a spice and starch mixture, then fried to an appetizing golden color, becoming juicy inside and crispy outside. They pair perfectly with various sauces—from sweet-spicy to creamy. This dish is not just delicious; it has a special atmosphere that brings people together at the table in a relaxed and warm setting. The convenient shape allows you to enjoy every bite by holding it by the exposed bone. A true celebration of flavor!

Prepare the chicken. Cut off the upper, meatier segments from the wings. Make a cut in the skin near the lower edge of the bone, slightly shift the meat with a knife to expose a piece of bone - this will make the meat juicier and easier to hold by the bone. You can also use the second segment. The tips of the wings are not suitable for roasting; it's better to use them in broth.

Mix soy sauce, minced garlic, chili, ginger, and 2 tablespoons of water in a food processor until smooth. Transfer the mixture to a large bowl and stir in flour, starch, paprika, egg, and salt. Place the chicken in the marinade and gently mix to ensure all wings are evenly coated. Cover with plastic wrap and let sit at room temperature for 1 hour, or in the refrigerator for 4 hours.
