½ teaspoon black pepper

Oil for frying
For the Fried Rice
-
3 cups cooked and chilled white rice
-
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
-
2 eggs, lightly beaten
-
1 cup mixed vegetables (carrots, peas, corn)

3 green onions, sliced

Instructions
1. Prepare the Chicken Wings
Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels.
In a bowl, combine flour, cornstarch, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss the wings in the mixture until fully coated.
2. Fry the Wings
Heat oil in a deep pot or fryer to 350°F (175°C).
Fry the wings in batches for 8–10 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Remove and place on paper towels or a wire rack to drain excess oil.
For extra crispiness, fry them a second time for 2–3 minutes.
3. Make the Fried Rice
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Add the beaten eggs and scramble until cooked, then push them to one side of the pan.
Add garlic and mixed vegetables and stir-fry for 2–3 minutes.
4. Add the Rice
Add the cooked rice to the pan and break up any clumps. Stir-fry for 3–4 minutes.
Pour in soy sauce and sesame oil, mixing everything evenly.
Stir in the scrambled eggs and green onions.
5. Assemble the Dish
Spoon the fried rice into bowls or plates.
Place several crispy wings on top of the rice.
Garnish with sesame seeds, chili flakes, and extra green onions if desired.
Tips for the Best Crispy Wings and Fried Rice
Use cold rice
Day-old rice prevents mushy fried rice.
Dry the wings thoroughly
This helps achieve a crispy coating.
Cook rice on high heat
High heat gives fried rice its signature flavor.
Double fry the wings
This method creates extra crunchy skin.
Variations
Spicy Wings Version
Toss the wings in buffalo sauce or chili sauce before serving.
Garlic Butter Wings
Coat the wings in melted garlic butter after frying.
Shrimp Fried Rice
Add cooked shrimp to the fried rice.
Teriyaki Wings
Glaze the wings with teriyaki sauce for a sweet and savory flavor.
Storage and Reheating
Refrigeration:
Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Reheating:
Reheat rice in a skillet and wings in an oven or air fryer to maintain crispiness.
Freezing:
Fried rice can be frozen for up to 1 month, but wings are best eaten fresh.
