Disjoint chicken wings, discarding bony tips. Push flesh to oney end of

portion containing 2 bones. Press fleshy ends of chicken pieces to flatten
so they will stand upright.
Dredge chicken in cornstarch mixed with 2 teaspoons salt and white pepper. Set aside to dry 30 minutes. Heat oil to depth of 1/2 inch in heavy skillet and fry chicken until golden brown and tender, about 7 minutes on each side.
Drain on paper towels and freeze or refrigerate if not to be used at once. To make dressing, combine oil, vinegar, wine, garlic, mustard, sugar, basil, oregano and tarragon.
Season to taste with salt and pepper. Blend well. Combine tomato slices, green pepper and onion slices with dressing and mix well. To serve, bring chicken wings to room temperature and arrange upright over tomatoes in
shallow casserole.
Hygiene Tips:
*Always wash your hands with warm water and soap, and dry them thoroughly, after touching raw poultry.
*Don"t wash your turkey (or other poultry) ò€“ this is because bacteria can splash onto worktops, dishes and other foods. Proper cooking will kill any bacteria, so you don"t need to wash poultry.
*Always clean worktops, chopping boards, dishes and utensils thoroughly after they have touched raw poultry.
*Never use the same chopping board for raw poultry and ready-to-eat food without washing it thoroughly in warm soapy water. (If possible, use a separate chopping board just for raw meat and poultry).
