What you'll need is some wonton wrappers, cubed cheese, and a little water. Set out one wonton and put a tiny cube of cheese near the middle. Before you fold the corners to meet, forming the triangle, dip your pinkie in water and get the edges wet. This will hold the dough together better. Seal it up good because you don't want cheese getting in your oil.
It should look something like this when you're done:
Heat the oil in a non-stick skillet, or a wok if you own one. It should be around 300F before you turn it down to a medium-high. Put the wontons in but don't over-crowed your pan/wok. As they turn brown, pull them out so they don't burn.
Look yummy huh? Oh they were!
Then it was the chicken... This was not as fun as I hoped.
Poke holes in the thawed brumbsticks befor you put the drum sticks in a marinade of soy sauce, ginger, and sake. Let it sit in the fridge for an hour. When the time's up, dry them with a paper towel before you put potato startch on them.
Heat the oil in your pan/wok to around 400F then CAREFULLY put the chicken in.
Here is where my night took an interesting turn.
I fried the chicken as long as it said and damn things still weren't done. No we had to throw them in the ovan for almost an hour before they were done. Pissed off does not come cloud to how mad I got.
Over reaction? Yes. But things don't usually go that way for me in the kitchen so I over reacted.
And oh my god it was SO GOOD! Does anyone have good chicken frying tips?
