   • Place the cleaned chicken wings in a large bowl. Add the spice paste and mix well to ensure the wings are evenly coated.
   • Add the egg white to the bowl and mix again, ensuring that each piece of chicken is thoroughly coated. Add a little ice-cold water to create a slightly thicker marinade if needed.
   • Cover the bowl and refrigerate for about 30 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse into the chicken.

3. Prepare the Coating:

   • In a separate bowl, mix the all-purpose flour with baking powder and salt.
   • In another bowl, prepare an ice-cold water bath.

4. Coat the Chicken Wings:

   • Remove the marinated chicken wings from the refrigerator. Dip each wing into the flour mixture, ensuring an even coating.
   • Next, dip the floured wings into the ice-cold water bath. This step helps create a crispier texture.
   • After dipping in the ice-cold water, return the wings to the flour mixture. Gently press and pat the flour onto the wings to form a thick coating.

5. Fry the Chicken Wings:

   • Heat a generous amount of cooking oil in a deep pan or frying pot over medium-high heat.
   • Carefully add the coated chicken wings to the hot oil, a few at a time, to avoid overcrowding the pan.
   • Fry the wings until they turn golden brown and are crispy, about 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally to ensure even cooking.
   • Use a slotted spoon to remove the wings from the oil and drain them on paper towels to remove excess oil.

6. Serve:

   • Transfer the crispy chicken wings to a serving platter. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauces or enjoy them as they are!
