Deep-fried Chicken Wings with Sweet and Savoury Soy Sauce Glaze

• 150 grams Chicken wings -- the midsection and the tip
• 1 Coarsely ground salt and pepper
• 1 Coarsely ground black pepper
• 1 Plain flour
• 1 White sesame seeds
• 3 tbsp Sugar

4. Sprinkle again with just the coarsely ground black pepper.
5. Coat the chicken wings evenly with flour.
6. Shake off the excess flour.
7. Heat the oil until inserted chopsticks bubble straight away.
8. Put the chicken wings in the oil and deep-fry them over low to medium heat (deep-fry in batches if necessary).
9. After 5 minutes the chicken wings that sank to the bottom start to float to the surface.
10. Turn over each chicken wing and deep-fry for a further 5 minutes.
11. Turn up the heat to high and deep-fry until very crispy (about 15 minutes altogether).
