Tebasaki (Japanese-Style Deep Fried Chicken Wings)

Tebasaki (Japanese-Style Deep Fried Chicken Wings) Recipe

An authentic Tebasaki recipe shared by the Nagoya International Center. Tebasaki are seasoned deep-fried chicken wings and are a specialty food of the Nagoya region of Japan. Honey can also be used instead of sugar. This doesn't make too much sauce, so make extra if you'd like. Also, mirin is a rice wine similar to sake. It has a lower alcohol content and consists of 40-50% sugar. There are a few kinds but any will do, and I'm sure most places will only sell one kind if any at all.
