Heat a fry pan with a shallow amount of oil or a deep fryer to 180 degrees.  

Take your chicken wings and cut a couple of small cuts across the thick part of the thigh. Marinate in a bowl with the garlic, ginger, soya, smashed chili and 1/2 tsp of sea salt. Set aside for 30 minutes.  

Make up the slaw by combining all the ingredients together in a bowl. Adjust the seasoning and set aside.  

To cook the chicken wings. Empty the potato flour into a bowl and mix with the paprika, chili powder, chili flakes and 1/2 tsp of salt. Pull the chicken from the marinate and drop into potato flour mix, ensure the chicken are well coated before dropping into the oil and frying until well coloured and cooked.
