Serving 4 Ingredients: 500gr chicken wings (tip cut off) 2 cups corn flour 1cup sesame seeds 2 beaten eggs salt to taste 1 lemon 1/2 liter of frying oil Clean and cut each wing in 2 parts. Mix the corn flour and the sesame seeds in a large bowl. Beat the eggs in a separate bowl. Coat the chicken with the corn/sesame mixture then with the beaten eggs and again with the corn/sesame. Put the half liter oil in a frying pan, wait till it gets very hot. Place the coated wings in the oil and fry them till they get golden brown. Drain the fried wings on a kitchen paper. Your fried chicken wings are ready! Serve warm with lemon and the sauce you like...Buon appetito!
