Preparation is the key to this dish. The cooking process is easy. Even newbies can cook tender crispy fried chicken wings using this method as long as the wings are properly prepped.The chicken wings need to be sliced into two pieces, We will be needing the wingette and drumette parts. Save the wingtip for future use. It can be used as ingredient for chicken stock.
The next step is to push all the meat to one end of the bone. Do this by loosening the meat from one end of the bone and forcibly pushing it down to the other end.

- Divide the chicken wing into 3 parts by slicing through the joints. Set aside the wingtip for other possible uses.

- Separate the meat from the bone by sliding a sharp knife around the tip of the bone where meat is still connected (do not cut through the bone).
- Place the wing vertically on top of a flat surface while holding the part where the knife passed.
- Gently push downward while gripping the bone with your thumb and index finger until the meat slides down.
- Arrange the meat by inverting the inner part until a lollipop shape is formed. Note: Do the same procedure for the part with two bones. However, you need to first detach the smaller bone before commencing.
