San Tung Chicken Wings Recipe (Crispy Sweet and Spicy Wings) 

I was living around the corner from San Tung some years ago, and I loved this dish. Now back in Europe, and miss it. I just tried your recipe and I have to admit it is extremely close to the original. Just finished eating my portion. Super delicious. Thank you so much for putting this out there, and compliment to your analysis skills!

I always go back to this.

Hope this helps! Ingredients: 1 1/2 lbs chicken wings (rinsed and patted dry) 1 1/2 c potato starch (mixed with salt and pepper) 6 cloves minced garlic 1 stalk finely chopped green onions 1 tbsp minced ginger 3 tbsp brown sugar 6 dried red chili peppers (remove seeds) 1/2 cup corn syrup 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce 2 tbsp olive oil 4 cups vegetable/cooking oil Recipe: 1. Cover each wing thoroughly with potato starch 2. Remove excess starch from each wing and let it rest for 20 min 3. In a medium pan on medium-high heat sauté garlic in olive oil for 1 minute 4. Add chili peppers and minced ginger and stir for 1 min (watch for burning!) 5. When ginger is fully cooked, turn off heat and mix in 1/4 c soy sauce and 1/2 c corn syrup 6. Mix in 3 tbsp brown sugar (or more if you prefer sweeter) 7. Increase heat to medium and add green onions and allow to boil for 1-2 minutes until sauce thickens to preferred consistency 8. Turn off heat 9. In a separate medium pan, heat 4 cups vegetable oil on medium-high heat 10. Deep fry wings until golden brown (about 14 min) and remove excess oil by placing onto paper towel 11. Turn heat on brown sauce to medium (add water to consistency preference) and add chicken wings 12. Mix sauce and wings together (avoid overcrowding) 13. Be sure to save enough sauce to cover all wings 14. Serve hot and enjoy!

I have to take time and thank you for this amazing recipe! I used to travel all the way from the UK to San Francisco once in a while to enjoy my favourite wings from San Tung. I previously tried another recipe hoping to recreate the taste but it wasn't even close. Yours in almost identical! Many thanks!

I have been making these wings all weekend! Yes, they are crack wings, and the recipe would be nice, please post more videos!

Thanks for the recipe. I’ve made this several times and for family. Every time, it’s a hit!

I tried this and it was outstanding! Thanks so much!

I just tried this yesterday. Delicious! Thanks for the recipe! I didn’t have corn syrup so I used sugar + water + corn starch

I remember leaving school during lunch to eat at San Tung. yum

My husband loves it !! He said 9.8 out of 10 ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Vina, My favorite restaurant and dish. I crave it but I live a distance away from SF. My favorite old time song: Sonny.

Hi, this will help me on my Thanksgiving!

if you want it sweeter then use honey. Also if you don't have potato starch I've done it with corn starch and it was fine. Corn starch will not keep it's crispy/crunchy texture for very long though where potato starch keeps it crunchier longer. I see so many recipes replacing cilantro with ginger and that's not the taste to get IMHO. Ginger is very key in this dish. Good recipe.

Oh wow! I can't wait to try this!

Just made these...yummy, so delicious and crispy!

Looks great

They came out amazingly delicious! Thanks for the video. Burned the sauce on my first go so be careful!

Thank you! I can't really fry in my house, but until I can I'll keep this in mind

San Tung dry fried chicken wings aka crack wings lol! Addicting!

Thank you! I’ve been looking for a copy recipe for about a month. 🍗🍗🍗🍗

Thanks Vina. Will give it a try this week. Wife's been craving San Tung wings since we left SF a few years ago!

Loved your recipe, Thank You!

After a long while, I went to San Tumg today! And I had to look up a copycat recipe and came across this :)))

Those are the softest hands I ever seen 😍

Do you have a recipe for their green beans too? You got to have the beans with the chicken.

Dem crack wings though

Hi this looks delicious! Is this brown or white sugar?

how much salt and pepper do you add to the starch?

any possible way to sub the corn syrup? >.>

*shakes off excess sauce* Me-"why God?" Include the recipe in the description please. :) Great Videos!

I’ve made this a few times and it so good! But my sauce is never sticky/thick like this. Any suggestions ??

At 2:40 what do you mean after it boils “turn it on the heat” it’s already on the heat

could you add the directions in the description pls :)

This is awesome, but you are missing 1 key ingredient. White pepper. 100% Also, possible they use maltose instead of cornsyrup.

can I use corn starch or Arrow root instead of Potato starch ?

Do you happen to know a copycat recipe for Capital restaurant’s salt and pepper wings? 🙂 I get that and San Tung’s every time I go to SF but haven’t been able to.

Came out way too sweet. I used honey instead of corn syrup

Nice video, but the volume on your music is terrible, your voice is low then your music is screaming
