Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together potato starch, all-purpose flour, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
  2. Toss the cleaned chicken wings into the dry mixture, coating each wing thoroughly, then let them rest for 5-10 minutes.
  3. Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet to 350°F. Fry the coated wings for about 7-8 minutes until golden brown.
  4. In a saucepan, combine soy sauce, dark brown sugar, fish sauce, and minced garlic. Bring to a gentle boil, then simmer uncovered for 12-15 minutes.
  5. Once the glaze is ready, toss the fried wings in the soy sauce mixture and garnish with lemon zest and sliced green onions.
