Preparation & Cooking

Prepare the Wings
In a large bowl, combine flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Toss the chicken wings in the mixture until evenly coated.

Fry the Wings
Heat oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C). Fry the wings in batches for about 10-12 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Fry the Thai Basil
In the same oil, quickly fry the Thai basil leaves for about 30 seconds until crispy. Be cautious as they may splatter.
