Instructions:

Preparation:
- Begin by cutting the chicken wings at the joint, yielding 24 delicious pieces ready to soak up flavor.

Marinade Magic:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the egg, margarine (for that irresistible richness), hot sauce (for a kick of heat), salt, brown sugar, and Hungarian paprika. Stir until everything is well incorporated, creating a tantalizing marinade.

Coating and Chilling:
- Dip each chicken wing piece into the marinade, ensuring they’re thoroughly coated in this flavor-packed mixture. Once coated, pop them into the fridge to chill for a leisurely hour, allowing the flavors to meld and infuse into every juicy bite.

Batter Up:
- After their relaxing stint in the fridge, it’s time to give these wings a crispy coating. Remove them from the chill and add the water, flour, cornstarch, and baking soda to the bowl. Mix until you have a smooth batter, making sure each wing is generously coated and ready to sizzle.
-
Frying Fun:
- Heat up oil in a large frying pan, getting it nice and hot for that perfect crisp. Carefully place 5 to 6 chicken wing pieces into the oil at a time, allowing them to fry until beautifully golden brown. Remember to turn them occasionally for even cooking and that irresistible crunch.
-
Drain and Serve:
- Once they’ve achieved that coveted golden hue, remove the wings from the oil and let them drain on a paper towel-lined plate. This step ensures they stay delightfully crispy without excess oiliness.

Dig In:
- With the frying done and the aroma wafting through the air, your crispy, golden-brown chicken wings are ready to steal the spotlight at the table. Serve them up hot and crispy, and watch as they disappear before your eyes.
