Nagoya Fried Chicken Wings

Japanese Nagoya Fried Chicken Wings

I first experienced the most out-of-this-world chicken wings at a Japanese restaurant on Guam, which immediately became one of my favorite restaurants for authentic Japanese cuisine. Tucked away in the heart of Tumon, but not as well-known as other Japanese restaurants, Wara was like a hidden gem and a mini Japan getaway. My husband and I enjoyed many date nights there -- watching Japanese game shows and admiring the walls decorated with Japanese keepsakes. I just HAD to have these every time I ate there! After all, who can resist something so crispy with a coating of salty, sweet glaze and topped with crunchy sesame seeds!? These wings are addicting, so proceed with caution!
