Instructions
- 1
Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This will help the skin to become crispy when fried.
- 2
In a large bowl, mix together the baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken wings to the bowl and toss until they are evenly coated with the mixture.
- 3
Let the wings sit for about 20 minutes at room temperature. This will allow the baking powder to work its magic, making the skin crispier.
- 4
Preheat your deep fryer or a large pot with oil to 375°F (190°C). The oil should be deep enough to cover the wings completely.
- 5
Add the minced garlic to the all-purpose flour and mix well. Dredge the wings in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
- 6
Carefully place the wings into the hot oil and fry them in batches to avoid overcrowding, which can lead to uneven cooking and lower oil temperatures.
- 7
Fry the wings for about 10-12 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C) when checked with a meat thermometer.
- 8
Once cooked, remove the wings from the oil and let them drain on a wire rack or paper towels to remove excess oil.

Serve the crispy garlic chicken wings hot with your favorite dipping sauce or as is. Enjoy!
