Why Thick Sweet Potato Starch is the Key to Garlic Parmesan Chicken Wings

Using thick sweet potato starch for coating chicken wings creates an ultra-crispy, light texture that’s hard to achieve with other starches. This starch forms a durable, crunchy shell that holds up during frying, locking in moisture and flavor. It also enhances the wings’ golden color while absorbing less oil, resulting in a lighter, non-greasy bite. Perfect for creating that irresistible crunch, sweet potato starch is the go-to choice for perfectly crispy chicken wings. I also noticed that using sweet potato starch prolongs the crispiness of the chicken for longer. Here is the brand I use.

Steps to Make Crispy Garlic from Mince

1. Heat Oil: – Heat a small pan with enough oil to submerge garlic over medium heat.
2. Add Minced Garlic: – Once the oil is warm, add minced garlic and stir constantly.
3. Cook Until Golden Brown: – Fry the garlic for 3-5 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning.
4. Remove and Drain: – Once crispy and golden, remove garlic with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
5. Cool Completely: – Let the garlic cool for a few minutes to crisp up fully.
6. Store in Airtight Container: – Store crispy garlic in an airtight container to maintain crunch.

Important Ingredients for Garlic Parmesan Sauce

1. Japanese Mayo: – Creamy base for a rich and smooth texture.
2. Crispy Garlic: – Adds crunch and intense garlic flavor.
3. Rice Vinegar: – Provides a tangy balance to the richness.
4. Honey: – Adds a touch of sweetness.
5. Lemon Juice: – Brightens the sauce with acidity.
6. Salt: – Enhances overall flavor.
7. Pepper: – Adds subtle heat and seasoning.
8. Paprika: – Adds smoky depth and a hint of spice.
