Ingredients
•
4 cups canola oil for deep frying
•
3 pounds chicken wings, tips removed and wings cut in half at joint
•
1 tablespoon garlic salt
•
1 cup cornstarch
•
2 eggs, beaten
•
1/2 cup cider vinegar

1/4 cup pineapple juice

1/4 cup ketchup

1 cup honey

Directions
1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Heat oil in deep-fryer to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil, and spray with nonstick cooking spray.
2
Toss chicken wings with garlic salt, and set aside for 10 minutes. Place cornstarch in a large plastic bag; toss the wings, a few at a time until coated. Shake off excess cornstarch, then dip into beaten egg. Shake wings in cornstarch again, then fry until golden brown in deep fryer. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
3
Stir together vinegar, pineapple juice, ketchup, honey, and soy sauce in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Once the sauce comes to a simmer, place the chicken wings in a bowl, pour all but 1/2 cup of the sauce overtop, and toss to coat. Reserve remaining sauce to for basting.
4
Place chicken wings on prepared baking sheet. Bake in preheated oven for 30 minutes, then baste with remaining sauce, turn, and bake for an additional 20 minutes.
5
To serve, place wings on serving platter, and sprinkle with sesame seeds and green onions.
