Sticky Honey-Orange Chicken Wings

I was watching the Pinoy Edition of Junior Master Chef and I am amazed how these kids are able to cook such  food in a time pressured environment...Honestly I was never a fan of the kitchen (though i looove to eat!). I was just force to love the kitchen when I had my family and need to feed them. While, my mom is a great cook.. she can cook a delicious with out a recipe on hand. Whatever she sees in the refrigerator, she can turn it into something magnificent.. that's my mom. I however will never be like that. I am someone who cook by the book (cook book/ magazine that is) or by the internet (recipes from the website) and by the measurement.


And so I am inspired by these kids and took out the Yummy magazine and decided to cook the Sticky Honey-Orange Chicken Wings which was in their March issue cover.


For the coating:
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon five-spice powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
cooking oil, for deep-frying
12 pieces chicken wings


For the honey-orange glaze:
1 tablespoon oil
1 tablespoon ginger, sliced very thinly
1 tablespoon grated orange zest
