Method

With a small knife create a pocket around each wing bone, leaving the bone in. Combine the rest of the marinade ingredients and marinate the chicken overnight.

Combine all stuffing ingredients except the flour and oil in a bowl. Fill the pockets in the chicken wings with about 1 tablespoon of the stuffing, working the stuffing around the bone. The stuffing should not be bulging out of the pocket.

Heat the peanut oil until very hot in a wok or frying pan. Fry the wings until they are golden brown, and drain on paper towels.
