    Title: Nagoya-Style Tebasaki (Japanese Chicken Wings)
    Categories: Poultry, Vegetables, Herbs
    Yield: 4 servings

    800 g (1 3/4 lb) chicken wings
    1/2 ts Ground black pepper
    1/2 ts Salt
    1/4 c (packed) evaporated cane
    - sugar
    3 tb Soy sauce
    1/3 c Sake
    1 ts Ginger juice; *
    4 cl Garlic; grated
    1 tb Black or balsamic vinegar
    1 tb Potato starch
    Oil; for frying
    2 ts Toasted sesame seeds

    * grate the ginger and squeeze out juice

    Put the chicken wings in a single layer on a tray and
    sprinkle with half of the salt and pepper.

    Toss the chicken to coat evenly refrigerate while you
    prepare the other ingredients.

    Make the glaze by putting the sugar, soy sauce, sake,
    ginger juice, and garlic in a shallow pan. Heat over
    medium-high heat until the glaze starts to thicken. You
    can tell when it's ready when the bubbles get big and
    shiny.

    Add the vinegar, and then transfer to a large bowl and
    allow the glaze to cool.

    Add about 2" of oil to a heavy-bottomed pot and heat to
    325ºF/165ºC.

    Take the chicken out of the fridge and use paper towels
    to remove as much moisture from the surface of the
    chicken as possible. Sprinkle on the potato starch and
    toss the wings to evenly coat each piece with a thin
    layer of starch.

    Fry the chicken wings for 10 minutes in batches.
    Transfer to a plate and continue frying the rest of the
    wings.

    Increase the heat of the oil to 375ºF/190ºC. Fry the
    chicken in smaller batches, being careful not to
    overcrowd the pan. The chicken is done when the wings
    are golden brown (about 2-3 minutes).

    Transfer the wings directly to the bowl of glaze and
    quickly toss to coat.

    Sprinkle on some toasted sesame seeds and black pepper
    to taste and toss again. Don't let the wings sit in the
    glaze for too long.
