Garlic Salt and Pepper Wings

You can either fry or bake, or air fry the wings. Our preference for this recipe (and how recipe's wings in video and images above are depicted) is to fry these chicken wings. They will have a crispier crust. For either method, if you don't have corn starch, you can coat the wings with just flour or substitute potato starch for the corn starch.
