  1. Chop chicken wings into drummettes and mid-joint together with wing tip.  Then chop drummettes into halves.  Chop mid-joint 3/4 part, leaving 1/4 part intact with the tip.
  2. Marinate chicken wings with seasonings for at least an hour.  Coat with flour before deep frying.
  3. Heat up oil in a wok.  Deep fry the chicken wings until brown. Remove from oil and deep fry a second time to make them more crispy.  Remove from wok and set aside.
  4. Heat up oil in a pan.  Saute the garlic, green onion, dried chilli and green chilli for a while.  Add the szechuanese peppercorns and stir fry for 1 min or until aromatic.
