Notes
- Make sure to use fresh chicken wings for the best taste.
- Marinate the chicken wings with salt, pepper and cornstarch for at least 30 minutes before deep frying them.
- Get the oil hot enough before you start deep frying the chicken wings as it ensures that they are nicely cooked inside out without burning.
- Don’t overcrowd the pan while deep frying the chicken wings as it will lower the temperature of the oil and make them soggy.
- For a more flavorful sauce, you can add some garlic to it before serving.
