Fried mid joint chicken wings

My chicken wings are fried in a wok. Deep frying is not really my forte as I am so afraid of being scalded. But these turned out ok!

Recipe

One tray of mid joints ( bought from supermarket)

Kikkoman soy sauce 2 tsp

White pepper 

Corn flour 4 teaspoons

Cooking oil 

Marinate the chicken with the soy sauce, sprinkle of pepper and coat them with the corn flour

Leave in the fridge about one hour 

Before frying take them out and bring to room temperature about 15 minutes

Heat your wok and add in the oil

Try to add enough to cover the wings

Use medium fire to heat the oil, lower the temp to low before adding in the wings 

I cover the wok 

Then when I smell the wings fragrant smell , I quickly lifted the wok cover away

I flipped the wings n continue frying to nice golden brown.

Serve them with your favorite chilli or tomato sauce.
