Combine the chicken wings with the soy sauce and sugar. Mix well with your hands and massage the marinade into the wings. Set aside while you make the sauce.
In a saucepan combine the honey, lemon zest and lemon juice. Over medium heat. Bring to a simmer and cook for 1 minute. Mix the cornflour with the water and stir until the sauce thickens. Remove from heat and set aside while the wings cook.
Fill a wok 1/3 full with the oil and heat until the oil has got to the temperature of 165C/325F. Cook the wings for 10-15 minutes or until the wings are golden brown and cooked through.
While the wings are still warm, place them in a large bowl and add the sauce and toss until well combined. Serve straight away.
