Below is a great recipe for fried chicken wings which I made at home earlier today:

10 chicken wings.
1/2 cup flour.
1 1/2 teaspoon of ginger root, finely minced.
1 1/2 teaspoon of garlic, finely minced.
1 teaspoon of lemon juice.
1 teaspoon of water.
1/2 teaspoon of turmeric, ground.
1/2 teaspoon of salt.
1 cup of vegetable oil.

Directions:

Remove wing tips and reserve for soup pot.

Cut each wing in half at the joint.

In a bowl, combine the wings and other ingredients except vegetable oil.

Mix, cover and refrigerate for about 3 hours.

In a large, deep pan, heat the oil, then add the wings and fry until golden brown on both sides (about 12 mins in total).
