Notes
Chicken wings: Chop the wings in half before preparing. You should have drums and flats. If the wings are frozen, let them thaw completely and pat them dry before coating them in the cornflour mixture.
Batches: Fry the wings in batches and ensure you don't overcrowd the saucepan. This will ensure that wings fry evenly in good time. Overcrowding can cause the temperature of the oil to lower and the chicken may get stuck together while frying.
Storage: Place wings in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 4 days. Reheat in the microwave for 60-90 seconds (depending on the microwave) before serving.
