Rinse the chicken wings with water and pat them dry.

Marinate the wings with salt, sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, white pepper powder, soy sauce, rice wine, beaten egg, and cut garlic.

Thoroughly mix the marinade with the chicken wings, cover, and let them marinate for at least 6 hours or overnight.

Prepare the batter by mixing all-purpose flour, cornstarch, and potato starch together without adding any liquid.

Add the dry batter mix directly to the marinated wings and mix to coat all wings evenly.

Heat a pot of oil to 380°F (195°C).

Place the wings into the oil one at a time, removing any garlic pieces that may stick to the wings.

Fry the wings for the first time for 5 minutes without disturbing them for the first minute.

After 1 minute, gently stir the pot to separate any wings that are sticking together.

After 5 minutes, remove the wings from the oil and let them rest for about 15 minutes.

Bring the oil temperature back to 380°F (195°C) for the second frying.

Fry the wings for the second time for 3 minutes, turning them occasionally for even coloring.

After 3 minutes, remove the wings from the pot.
