Batter Up!

Finally, I've discovered the secret to getting the crispy coating in Chinese deep fried chicken wings. Who would've thought that it's so darn simple!? The batter is simply a combination of cornstarch and water, and should be the consistency of cream. The batter also works if it is a combination of wheat starch/flour, cornstarch and rice flour.

----------------------------------------

Traditional Chinese style Batter for Crispy Coating:
- Cornstarch and water. Batter should be consistency of cream.

or

- 1 part Cornstarch, 1 part Rice Flour, 2 parts Wheat flour, and water. Batter should be consistency of cream.

* The batter can also be made using brine instead of water.
