Directions
Chicken
1. Wash the chicken wings and drain it.
2. Cut the lime grass and the onions. Put the ingredients for the marinade in a mortar or in a food processor and grind it.
3. Season the chicken wings with salt and pepper. Then add the marinade and let the chicken wings marinate for an hour.
4. Mix the wheat flour and the potato starch in a bowl.
5. Break the egg and add this to the chicken wings. This ensures that the flour will stick to the chicken wings. Cover the chicken wings with the flour, press it gently and shake off the excess flour. Put it aside for 20 minutes.
6. Heat up the oil at 150 degrees. Gently put the chicken wings on the oil. Cook it on both sides for 8 to 10 minutes. Get the chicken wings out of the pan. Heat up the oil again at 175 degrees. Fry the chicken wings for the second time, untill it gets gold brown and crispy.
Waffles
1. Beat the egg lightly for 7 minutes, then put it aside.
2. Put the flour, the sugar and the baking powder in a bowl and mix it together. Then add the milk, the oil and the vanilla extract. Use a whisk to beat it up till it becomes a equal batter.
3. Put the eggs in the bowl and stir it again till it becomes a equal batter.
4. Heat up the waffle maker. Fill the plate with batter. Close the waffle maker and bake it untill it gets gold brown.
5. Serve the chicken wings with the waffles.
