Chinese Fried Chicken Wings

Appetizers, Chinese Modern Cuisine, Poultry, Snacks

KFC is very popular in China. Do you like KFC? Do you like their fried chicken wings? I think KFC in China may be different from that in the United States, because KFC will introduce products that are suitable for local people according to local tastes. The Chinese KFC fried chicken has a crispy crust, and I think that is using some kind of batter with crispy properties. However, KFC in China uses breadcrumbs for fried chicken wings. Today we will make our own Chinese KFC style fried chicken wings.
