Preparation

  1. Heat oil in a pot to 340°F (170°C).
  2. Mix the ingredients for the batter in a bowl until smooth with no lumps.
  3. Dip a chicken wing into the cornstarch, shaking off excess, then dredge the wing into the batter, dripping off excess.
  4. Fry half of the wings at a time for about 5-7 minutes, until light golden. The oil will drop to about 320°F (160°C).
  5. Drain the wings and increase the heat. Heat oil to about 375°F (190°C).
