Wash chicken wings and pat dry with paper towels. Score them lightly with a knife if desired for better marination.
In a large bowl, combine light soy sauce, Shaoxing wine, sesame oil, white pepper, sugar, and cornstarch. Add chicken wings and mix well, ensuring each wing is coated.
Cover the bowl and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or preferably 2 hours for best flavor.
Heat oil in a wok or deep pot to 170-180°C (340-350°F).
Carefully place marinated chicken wings into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for about 6-8 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through.
Remove chicken wings from oil and place on a wire rack lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve hot.
