Steps
- Step 1
Preheat the oven to its lowest setting - this is for keeping the wings warm, as you’ll need to cook in two batches.
- Step 2
Cut each wing at the joint so you have a mini wing and a drumette.
- Step 3
Mix the cornflour, baking powder, garlic salt, pepper, and paprika together in a large bowl.
- Step 4
Place the chicken wings in the bowl and toss to coat them evenly in the coating. Remove the wings from the bowl and place on a plate.
- Step 5
Heat the oil in a large frying pan over a medium-high heat - ready for frying the wings.
- Step 6
Add the flour, Chinese five spice, rice vinegar, and water to the remaining cornflour that’s left in the bowl and mix, using a balloon whisk until combined. This gives is the second coating for the chicken.
- Step 7
Dip a chicken wing in the wet batter and turn to coat. Allow any excess batter to drip off and carefully add the chicken wing to the hot oil to deep fry.
- Step 8
Repeat with the remaining wings. You should be able to cook up to 10 chicken wings at a time if your pan is large enough.
- Step 9
Cook for 6-8 minutes, moving the chicken around in the pan a couple of times, with a set of tongs, to prevent it from sticking together.
- Step 10
Place the first batch of wings on a tray and place in the oven to keep warm, while you cook the second batch.
- Step 11
Repeat with the remaining wings.
- Step 12
While the wings are cooking, make the topping.
- Step 13
Add the oil to a small frying pan and heat over a medium heat.
- Step 14
Add the spring onions, chillies, salt, and garlic into the hot pan. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring often, until fragrant. Turn off the heat.
- Step 15
Once the wings are ready, transfer to a serving plate and spoon over the chilli topping, then serve.
