  1. In a bowl of chicken wings, add light soya sauce, sesame oil, shaoxing wine, white pepper and mix well.
  2. Add turmeric powder all over the chicken wings and mix well to ensure the wings are coated.

  4. If batter is too dry, add about 1 tablespoon water and mix well.
  5. Keep in the fridge for at least 2 hours.
  6. Drop a bit of batter into a pan of hot oil. If the batter floats, the oil is ready for deep frying.

  11. If you have remaining batter, pour over hot oil to make crispy crumbs.
