Welcome viewers and introduce the recipe for chicken wings.

Add ginger powder, garlic powder, onion powder, curry powder, white pepper, black pepper, salt, and chicken seasoning to the chicken wings.

Mix the spices well with the chicken wings and ensure everything is combined.

Sprinkle a little vegetable oil on top of the chicken wings and rub it all over the chicken.

Cover the bowl and marinate the chicken for about 1 to 2 hours, or overnight for better flavor.

Prepare the flour mixture by adding the same spices used for the chicken: ginger powder, garlic powder, black pepper, and onion powder.

Stir the flour and spices together until well combined.

After marinating, coat the chicken wings in the flour mixture, ensuring they are well coated.

Shake off any excess flour from the chicken wings.

Prepare cold water (or cold milk) by placing it in the freezer for about 30 minutes to chill.

Dip the coated chicken wings into the cold water, then back into the flour mixture to coat again.

Ensure the chicken wings are coated twice for better texture.

Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet and fry the chicken wings until golden brown and cooked through, turning occasionally for even cooking.

Check that the chicken is cooked well and has a crispy coating before serving.
