Ingredients

Chicken wings: 1 kg
All-purpose flour: 1 cup
Cornstarch: 1 cup
Salt: 1 teaspoon
Black pepper: 1 teaspoon
Garlic powder: 1 teaspoon
Ginger powder: 1 teaspoon
Vegetable oil: for deep frying

Honey: 1/4 cup

Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and ginger powder.
Coat the chicken wings evenly with the flour mixture, shaking off any excess. Set aside.
Heat ample vegetable oil in a deep fryer or a large, deep pan to 350°F (175°C).
Fry the chicken wings in batches for about 10-12 minutes, or until they turn golden brown and crispy. Be careful not to overcrowd the pan. Use a slotted spoon to remove the fried chicken and drain on paper towels.
