Ingredients for hot and crunchy chicken wings:
Chicken marinate ingredients:
- 1kg Chicken Wings
- 1 tsp White Pepper
- 1 tsp Black Pepper
- 1 tsp Onion Granules
- 1 tsp Smoked Paprika
- 1 tbsp Chilli Powder
- 1 tbsp Cayenne Pepper
- 1 tbsp Salt
Cooking ingredient:
- 1L Vegetable Oil
Flour mix ingredients:
- 400-500g of Flour
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp White Pepper
- 1 tsp Chilli Powder
- 1 tsp Garlic Powder
Instructions:
- Start by getting your oil up to a steady 180C. Meanwhile, let’s move on to preparing the chicken wings.
- In a large bowl, mix together the white pepper, black pepper, onion granules, smoked paprika, chilli powder, cayenne pepper, and salt. This spicy concoction will pack your wings with that bold, lip-smacking flavour we’re after.
- Give your chicken wings a good rub with this spice mix, ensuring each piece is well coated.
- Next, it’s time for the flour mix. In a different bowl, combine the flour, salt, white pepper, chilli powder, and garlic powder. Stir well to blend. This seasoned flour will bestow your wings with that delightful, crunchy crust.
- One at a time, thoroughly coat your seasoned chicken wings in the flour mixture.
- Here’s a trick I swear by immersing each floured wing in cold water for about 5 seconds, then dredging them back into the flour mix for a second coat. Double-dipping gives your wings a thicker, more satisfying crunch.
- With your wings double-coated and your oil ready, carefully lower the wings into the hot oil. Cook until they turn golden brown and crispy, and the chicken is cooked thoroughly.
- Once done, transfer the wings to a wire rack or kitchen paper to let any excess oil drain away.
- Serve these homemade spicy chicken wings piping hot, and watch your family’s faces light up with delight!
