3 tablespoons flour
2 1/4 lbs chicken wings, separated at joint wings discarded
2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced

2. Remove from heat and let cool; grind.
3. Combine 1 teaspoon of the salt and pepper with the flour and dredge the chicken pieces in it.
4. Deep fry the chicken at 350 degrees F, in batches, until golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes; drain on paper toweling and season with salt and pepper mixture.
5. Heat 1 tablespoon of the frying oil in the first skillet over medium heat and cook the garlic until golden, about 2 minutes.
6. Add the serrano chili and cook until tender crisp, about 2 minutes; sprinkle over the fried chicken along with any remaining salt and pepper mixture.
