This recipe had way too much salt. I didn't use any and found that the soy sauce made it salty enough. Seemed to lack much flavour except for the soya sauce.

I radically changed this recipe to avoid the salt. I usually make about 40 lbs at a time though!!(around 150-170 wings) Also,I added the fresh ground ginger root for a bit of a snap.This feeds around 80-100 people given that we also do lobster tails,scallops in bacon and many different salads. Anyway,for 3 lbs... In a bowl,combine: 1Tbsp salt 3 Tbsps sugar 1/2 tsp ground ginger (or more,to taste) 1 tsp fresh ground ginger root 6 Tbsps HOT water (to dissolve) 6 Tbsps good soy sauce (check Asian markets for the good stuff!!) Kikkoman works 2 Tbsps Tanguerey gin. Stir until salt and sugar are dissolved. place around 16 wings in a 1 gallon ziplock bag.Pour in the marinade. before closing,remove all air possible!! Marinate a minumum of 24 hours,the longer the better,turning every few hours.(I do a minumum of 36) Deep fry (sorry grease haters,but it's WAY faster) at 375% for 5-6 minutes,or until deep golden brown Turn out onto paper towels,dab off grease and keep warm in a 200% oven until ready to serve

Wonderful flavor. I followed the tips and only did a bit of salt and baked for a lower fat version. Came out great!

i also agree with other reviews that this recipe was way too salty. i think maybe next time instead of marinating it for 24hours i will marinate for 24 minutes.

So yummy. I baked mine in the oven on cooling racks set on cookie sheets. They still came out nice and crispy, but much lower in fat I'm sure :)

I was dissapointed. I usually bake my wings...it's much less messy and isn't as fatty. I thought these would be the wings from the Kowloon restauraunt in Saugas, MA. This recipe didn't come close. It was just okay.
