Instructies
Disjoint the chicken wings, discarding the bony tips.
Push the flesh to one end of the bone on the remaining parts.
Remove the smaller bone in the wing portion containing two bones with a sharp knife.
Press the fleshy ends of chicken pieces to flatten them so they will stand upright.
Dredge the chicken in cornstarch mixed with 2 teaspoons of salt and white pepper.
Set aside to dry for 30 minutes.
Heat oil to a depth of 1/2 inch in a 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 used immediately.
For the dressing, combine olive oil, tarragon wine vinegar, dry white wine, mashed garlic, dry mustard, sugar, crushed basil, crushed oregano, and crushed tarragon.
Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Blend well.
Combine tomato slices, green pepper, and onion slices with the dressing and mix well.
Bring the chicken wings to room temperature and arrange them upright over the tomatoes in a shallow casserole.
Serve and enjoy!

Wine Pairing Advice:
Pair these Napa Valley wine-glazed chicken wings with a crisp and aromatic Sauvignon Blanc or Chardonnay. The bright acidity of the wine will complement the flavors of the tarragon and enhance the overall dining experience.
