Ingredients:
CATE VANICEK
10 chicken wings (yield 20
1 drumsticks)
1 egg white, slightly beaten
1/3 cup cornstarch--mixed with:
1 tsp baking powder
1 peanut oil for deep frying
MARINADE
1 tsp five-spice powder
1/2 tsp msg (optional)
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp sugar
1 tsp rice wine
1 tsp soy sauce
Instructions:
Discard wing tips. Cut between joints. Remove the smaller bone of
the lower wing. Cut skin loose around the small end and push skin
and meat up to form drumstick.
Marinate wings for 1 hour. Add egg white. Coat wings evenly. (Using
egg white to coat the wings will help to seal the juice inside the
meat. Hence the meat will be juicier.
Dredge wings in cornstarch mixture. (Using cornstarch and baking
powder helps to make the outside layer crisp.)
Deep-fry for 3 minutes. Drain. Let cool.
Deep-fry once again right before serving. (Deep-fry the first time
to cook the meat and seal the juice in the meat. The second time to
make the outside crisp. Make sure the oil is very hot before you
deep-fry for the second time.)

Chicken is ideal
for weight loss
and dieting
Healthy eating is far better than strict dieting, and weight loss achieved by a change of lifestyle lasts far longer than 'faddy' diets that are difficult to adopt for long periods.
Cooking more low fat chicken can enable you to lose weight gradually as part of a a controlled and healthy diet.
