    When breading with flour with or without corn starch, try adding a dash of baking powder to the mix. That will lighten it up a bit and also increase the crisp factor.

      Just make sure you get baking powder that doesn't have aluminum in it. Will ruin the taste. Just check the label before using.

    Both wings look scrumptadelicious (lol). If it’s visual you’re going for; cornstarch and flour has it. But just like the Chef, I would eat both and I will definitely be making these this weekend with some greens, yams, mac and cheese, cornbread and for dessert- peach cobbler. Thanks for another great video- you never disappoint!
    ***Update***** First and foremost, many thanks to Mr. Make It Happen for sharing this recipe. Second--YOU MUST MAKE THESE WINGS WITH THE CORNSTARCH.

    Always double fry. The second (60 seconds) fry absolutely reinforces the crispiness of the fried crust.
    Also, I use 100% corn starch when battering fried foods. You’ll never go back to flour once you see how much crispier the coating is.

    As a true chef such as myself I would like to add my 2 cents lol. From my frying experience, the 1st batch cooked always turn out darker then the rest of the batches! So I think you should try the test again but fry the cornstarch/flour 1st then the flour only and see if your results stay true!
