# Guide to Cooking:

01 - Set the oven temperature to 190°C (375°F) to prepare for baking.
02 - In a large bowl, mix together flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
03 - Dredge each wing thoroughly in the seasoned flour mixture, shaking off any surplus.
04 - Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Fry wings in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.
05 - In the same skillet, sauté sliced onions and minced garlic over medium heat until onions are translucent, 3-4 minutes.
06 - Add chicken broth, Worcestershire sauce, and soy sauce to the skillet; stir well and bring to a simmer.
07 - Whisk cornstarch and cold water to create a slurry. Gradually incorporate into the simmering sauce, stirring constantly until thickened to desired consistency.
08 - Arrange fried wings in a baking dish and pour the onion gravy over to coat evenly. Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes.
09 - Remove foil and continue baking uncovered for an additional 10-15 minutes to slightly crisp the wings.
10 - Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the wings before serving to enhance appearance and flavor.

# Extra Suggestions:

01 - For best texture, ensure wings are thoroughly dried before coating with the flour mixture.
