Instructions
0 Blend garlic and shallot/onion with a 1/4 cup of water to form a paste. Add to a bowl with the chicken. Add the rest of the batter ingredients and the remaining water and mix well until everything is coated. 1 Gently smash some garlic cloves of 1 head of garlic with the skin still on and set aside for later. 2 In a pan over medium heat, heat up enough oil to fry the chicken. Once hot enough, add the chicken wings (making sure you coat it with the batter as much as your can) into the hot oil. 5 Once it's halfway cooked, add the smashed garlic and let it finish cooking. Cook the chicken by batches so you don't overcrowd the pan. Remove the chicken with the garlic cloves and let the oil drain on a cooling rack. 3 Optional step: Remove the chicken from the oil for 1-2 minutes and then double fry at a slightly higher temperature for 1 minute to make it extra crispy. 4 Serve with the garlic cloves.
