- I am going to show you guys how to make the best chicken wings with salt and pepper...without the pepper:)
You know I am a bit confused with this title myself, I mean it's called as salt and pepper and yet pepper is not the main ingredients. Why? Well I guess it's one of the many lost in translation Chinese dishes.
In Chinese language; chilli (辣椒 la jiao) sounds phonically like pepper (胡椒 hu jiao）。We called this dish "chilli salt" (jiao yan 椒盐). "jiao 椒" as in chilli not pepper "胡椒 hu jiao". This dish should be call salt and chilli to be accurate.
Obviously you can call a dish whatever name you like, the most important thing is. It taste nice! The recipe I am about to impart to you guys is not only nice. It's awesome !!
The most important part of this dish is the salt and pepper mix. Get that right, you are almost there. Salt is the main taste for this recipe; therefore it needs to be enhanced to bring out its hidden flavor.. it needs to fried.
Below is my recipe with instructions.. enjoy:)
Salt and pepper mix;
3 tablespoon salt
1 tablespoon msg
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon 5 spice powder
For you guys who still can't get your head round salt and pepper without the pepper you can sling half a teaspoon of pepper powder into the mix.
Make sure the wok is dry (important) fried the salt at low heat for about 10 minutes until it turn a brownish color. Set it aside to cool.
Note: Do not touch the salt with you hand, even by accident. you will get burnt! It's hot.
When the salt has cooled down put the rest of the condiments together and mix it thoroughly. See picture below.
Made this Tuesday night. They are delicious, better than my local takeaway! I would honestly say that you are easily one of the best chefs on TH-cam, your recipes always turn out so well. Thank you.
lol! thanks.
yes i agreed....but my channel size don't reflect that.

+Horse Zanthus , this is because he never hide anything unlike other chef always hide the important part from the viewer.

Ronda Goodlet Browning the salt gives it an extra kick. I am sure you will love this dish.

Khoan, you are awesome - thanks for sharing your expertise. Can you explain why you brown the salt?
+tomatojuice12 to give it more sharpness

How do you make the regular style Chinese restaurant style chicken wings? Do you pre-cook? Do you marinate?
Love your recipes and have made loads of them but you've gone quiet lately,have you stopped posting?
I made this today and it was soo amazing and it’s so easy to make ..... thanks so much!!!!
You are so welcome!
Thank you so much for posting and sharing your talent! I've tried to make salt and pepper chicken so many times but messed it up every time! I tried this recipe today and got it perfect first time. I tried your chop suey recipe also and my mom said "I could live off this it's that good". I told her I used your recipe haha
great job👍.
thanks for letting me know... and giving me credit for your new cooking skills.
i am very happy to hear that😊
my local Chinese adds the salt n pepper mix at the very end AFTER the dash of cooking wine as it helps the salt n pepper mix and garlic stick to the wings more......hope it helps !
Love your videos, Khoan. What can I use instead of MSG that's readily available and will do a similar thing?
Nothing really. But chicken stock is next best.
That too has msg in its ingredients.
Hi Khoan, is this the same breading you use for salt and pepper pork chop? THANKS!
can do if you want it crispy, most restaurant just fried the pork loin with the batter coating.
thank you for sharing! at the end you added a dash ofwine, do you have a preference of what type of wine works best with this recipe?
Chinese cooking wine. Spell something like "shao xing" wine
What wine did you use thanks
shao xing is a popular one, the one I used was a commercial brand.
Great stuff my friend, clear ,precise to the point. Great channel. Just doing it know and my coating hasn’t stuck to the chicken, aaaaaahhhhhhh. No worries though I’m soldering though😂😂😂
Great to hear!
Hi Khoan, this looks like such a good recipe! Can’t wait to try it! What can I substitute the shaoxing wine with? I’m not able to consume it so looking for an alternative. Thank you so much again for the recipe and clear steps!
just leave the wine out. It has no effect on the taste.
Thanks so much for replying! I will let you know how I get on!
Hi, what can I use instead of MSG as It doesn't agree with me, thanks
just leavge it out, it still be very nice.
Nice one Khoan, I do like cooking this from time to time, the kids love it, but damn !!! it's deep fried haha so not too often :) I will try this alternative recipe cheers :)
zachary smith Thanks Zac.
Can you make the salt and pepper mix without the MSG? Does it affect the flavour?
I am GOING to make these this weekend. Got to be your best recipe. I am coming up on the bike when it gets warmer to have a takeaway. I will stay somewhere local and eat your food fo supper. Can't wait to meet you and your lovely family Khoan...
+MrFstasfk Great :)
Can you use White Wine Vinegar instead of cooking wine? I cant seem to find cooking wine anywhere.
Hey Khoan Vong, what is the best oil for frying for that chinese flavour??
Thank you I love to cook thanks to you my wife and kids think I'm the next great chief
Thanks for watching.
I want to make a dipping sauce that goes with this. do you have any recommendations? if so, could you make a video on how to make that?
it's a dry dish, I would think with cold beer in a hot night be ideal :)
So glad I found your channel. Thankyou for showing us. 🤗😍
Hi, great video. Thanks!
What was the last wet ingredient?
Was it Xoaxing Wine?
Yes it was!
Thanks! I made some mix but my 5-spice was bad and tasted of wood. Need to buy better quality. @@KhoanVong
My Uncle made your recipe last week and it was excellent but he didn't know about the Wine... @@KhoanVong
Can I sub with pork loin/spare ribs instead of chicken?
+TTBT yes of course.
I have a pork loin version on my channel.
Hi what did you put in at the end is it wine or thanks
I made this for my girlfriend, and she loved it. The taste is spot on.
well done.
Hiya! I love your recipes, I tried cooking your salt pepper chicken and its amazing.
I'm going to try making the wings next, just wondering why do you use potato starch for the chicken but flour for the chicken wings? Can I use potato starch for both?
Thanks
sure yoy can Zainab:)
wow Khoan, very nice and just like I had back in the uk. Cantonese style and these types of appetisers aren't on any New Zealand Chinese menus. Something i miss now I'm over here. It's nice to see you posting things like this and ribs so I can cook all myself.
do you think you could do a Chinese dry style BBQ ribs, the ones that are red and just served with a wedge of lemon they have a slight sweetish bbq flavour to them.
also I notice your salt spice mix has changed a bit, is that because its better or just that this particular chicken dish suits I better. the spice chilli ribs recipe is awesome!
Just a bit of variation.
Would potato starch give a better crispy texture other than flower I. Heard about adding custard powder too? Great video chef.. Glad to see you post more frequent videos now 😃
No. Potato starch makes it too hard. You want crispiness and moist inside. Thus deep frying for too long not ideal. Custard powder has sugar, sugar not suitable for deep frying.
preference really.
Thank you for the recipe it looks delicious
Thanks for liking
@@KhoanVong you are welcome 😉
Ow I loved these thank you 🙏
Glad you like them!
hi.hope your well. love you recipes. can you please tell me what wine you for cooking and which pepper do you use from your shaker. also do you have a recipe for the red sauce. our local puts it on special fried rice and we love it. dont think its sweet and sour.
many thanks
belinda
belinda brice I mostly use rice wine and shao xing wine. The pepper is just normal black pepper powder.
I do have sweet and sour sauce on my channel if that is what you are looking for Belinda.
I love Chinese food due you rock will be cooking soon want some yummy
???
Same as other the coments tastes superb thanks.
Great video as always
Hi when you add the black pepper and five spice to coat the chicken is it 4g of each like the salt and msg?
I've put the recipe on the description section, check it out.
What type of wine was used thanks
You are a talented man dude
+noel conneally thanks noel :)
great video khoan. what type of wine did you add at the end?
+Stephen Moore cooking wine. I normally tel people to use shao xing, that is a good wine for cooking.
Why do you fry the salt? Did you say plain flour?
Hi khoan, going to try make your salt and pepper wings, can i add chilli powder to the marinade mix or salt and pepper mix ?
Yes, of course. That makes it even better. Don't forget to leave the salt to cool down before mixing other stuff in.
And DON'T touch the salt after frying. It's very HOT!
Let me know.
You will love this dish.
That looks delicious
Restaurant on Lamma Island HK does what they call salt and pepper squid where the squid has the texture of quavers (UK snack). The squid explodes/ disintegrates as you eat it. How do they do it?
you mean they deep fry it till crispy?
That's the only way I could think off.
Just about to give this a go, what's the reason for the cooking of the salt? Does it take on some of the flavour of the wok or is it another reason?
I've always fried the salt, it seem to give it an edge.
What does frying the salt. Do please?
One of my all time favourite foods! Will be sure to give this a go some time soon ;)
you will love it Manny..and thanks subscribing😊
MAXIMUM LOVE TO THE MAN GEEZ VONG. MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOURS AND THE FAMILY. ALL THE BEST FOR THE SHOP TOO MATE #LONDONLOVE
Thanks for watching. Happy Christmas to you too:)
Looks great...what wine did you use??
cooking wine.
@@KhoanVong great, thanks. can't wait to try this out
What was five spice mix?
I have made this and I can recommend it 100 per cent, I bought some MSG from amazon, the taste is fantastic, and I have started using msg in other foods also, as it adds more depth of flavour,
Just made this tonight and it was phenomenal. But why do you dry fry the salt ? Thanks
To give it sharpness . Make sure it cools down before you mix the rest of the ingredients in though.
Cheers. I let it cool. Really tasty, the local Chinese is going to wonder where I've gone after finding your page !!
Michael Allan not enough people find my page. Be really great if you can share it out Michael 😊
No worries, I'll spread the word.
Michael Allan 👍
great vids Khoan keep them coming
Scott Robinson Will do Scott, thanks for watching.
Where can i buy the 5 spice powder?
why do you have to heat the salt?
Perfect 👍🏾.
Thank you! Cheers!
How much pepper and 5 spice to go with the salt and msg? Many thanjs
the recipe is on description section Tanvir
Hi sorry, I meant for the chicken, before the flour is applied, read the recipe just couldn’t find it. Thanks!
Thank you khoan for all the different dishes, I have cooked a lot of them and everyone loves them the wife thinks the sweet and sour sauce is amazing
Thanks for watching. Will do some upload next week.
was that oil u put on the last part of the video?
This is what I'd like to know, couldn't catch that last part.
Which oil do you use for frying?
vegetable oil
Will it make a difference, if I don't use msg and different chilli's ? Thanks
+Ceri Baldwin just a bit. msg give it a different taste.
Ok thanks, I tried the salt and chilli king prawns earlier, also chicken chow mein. Very nice
@@KhoanVong I suffer from migraines and severe headaches due to sweeteners and artificial flavourings do you know of any organic alternatives to msg.
Hi can u pls do deep fried chicken wings with batter.... Authentic Chinese style..... Thx!😋
Please new subscriber, what was the flour?you used on the chicken?
It's plain flour
@@KhoanVong thank you
Hi khoan can I put corn flour instead of normal flour?
yes make the chicken more crispy
why does it do when u fry the salt?
Great video gonna try these out once I get msg
What was the liquid added while the wings where in the wok? I couldn’t hear the name...
KJ cooking wine:)
Khoan Vong
Thankyou 👏🏻 great video, will definitely be doing this once I find out where I can buy MSG.
why do you cook the salt thanks knoan, love your recipies
To give it extra sharpness.
Lovely!
Gavla Tennis
Gavla Tennis ii
thank you chef
Love it
Is the wine at the end essential?
it adds to the flavour, but you you do not consume wine; leave it out.
i also believe it helps the garlic (if very finely chopped) and the salt and pepper stick to the chicken, i suppose one could use a dash of water/white vinegar mix ?
Hi I wanted to know what wine do you use in the end of this recipe. I don't drink so is there anything else I can use.
Thanks
Just leave it out. The wine does not make much difference to the taste. It just give it a tang!
Please when you get the time Khoan could you show us how you do your curry sauce ? I am completely tired of Maykway :)
zachary smith maybe some time in the future, no at the moment zac.
what was it you squirted out of the bottle at the end of the video. thanks
cooking wine
Thankyou
Can I request a video on how to do prawn paste fried chicken wings?
虾酱鸡
You mean like minced prawn with chicken wing...similar to.crab claws
***** No, not like crab claws, I think they use some fermented shrimp/prawn sauce to marinate the chicken.
But I have no idea how they make the sauce.
Ate it in singapore
BGM don't think I've seen it.
What spices are In the 5 spice powder?
also as i am trying to avoid msg will it taste the same without?
where do u buy the 5 spice ?
Chinese food store.
whats the MSG for
just a question but isn't MSG a band item, i am sure all chinese take away stores here in Australia do not use this anymore as it was shown to i think was shown to cause cancer no?
