     Title: CHICKEN WING DRUMSTICKS
Categories: Chinese, Chicken, Appetizers, Wings
     Yield: 3 servings

-----------------------CATE VANICEK-----------------------
    10    Chicken wings (yield 20
          "Drumsticks)
     1    Egg white, slightly beaten
   1/3 c  Cornstarch--mixed with:
     1 ts Baking powder
          Peanut oil for deep frying

-------------------------MARINADE-------------------------
     1 ts Five-spice powder
   1/2 ts MSG (optional)
     1 ts Salt
   1/2 ts Sugar
     1 ts Rice wine
     1 ts Soy sauce

 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.)
