Directions

Oven-Fried Chinese Chicken Wings: Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). In large bowl, stir together buttermilk, soy sauce, sesame oil, brown sugar and garlic; toss chicken wings with buttermilk mixture. Cover and marinate for at least 6 or up to 8 hours in fridge.
Stir together flour, cornstarch, 5-spice powder, salt and pepper. Remove wings from marinade, shaking off any excess marinade; discard marinade. Dredge wings in flour mixture until well coated. Arrange on large greased parchment paper–lined baking sheets. Bake, turning once, for 45 to 50 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.

Serve wings with Yogurt Ranch and BBQ Hoisin sauces for dipping. Sprinkle with green onions.
