Method

• step 1

  Put the garlic, coriander roots, white pepper, and soy sauce in a large pestle and mortar and grind to a paste (alternatively you can whizz in a small food processor).

• step 2

  Toss the chicken wings in this paste, then add the chicken powder, self-raising flour and toss again. Cover and chill for at least 20 minutes or overnight if you prefer.

• step 3

  Fill a wok 1/3 full with the oil and heat to 170C. Drop in the lime leaves and fry for a few seconds until they curl and crisp up (but still stay green). Scoop out with a slotted spoon.

• step 4

  Add the chicken wings in batches and fry for 8-10 minutes, depending on the size of your wings, until golden and cooked through. Serve with the lime leaves and chilli sauce.
