Fried Chicken Wings

Fried chicken wings are a popular and delicious dish. Here’s how you can prepare them:

Ingredients

• 1 kg of chicken wings
• 200 g of flour
• 1 tablespoon of paprika
• 1 tablespoon of garlic powder
• 1 tablespoon of onion powder
• 1 teaspoon of chili powder (optional)
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Frying oil (preferably peanut or sunflower oil)

Preparation

1. Start by washing the chicken wings and pat them dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture.
2. In a bowl, mix together the flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder (if you want a spicy touch), salt, and pepper.
3. Dip each chicken wing in the flour and spice mixture, ensuring it is well-coated on all sides.
4. Meanwhile, heat a generous amount of oil in a deep pan or fryer. The oil should reach a temperature of about 180°C.
5. Fry the chicken wings for about 8-10 minutes or until they are golden and crispy. Do not overcrowd the pan; be sure to fry the wings in small batches to avoid lowering the temperature of the oil and to ensure even cooking.
6. Once fried, remove the wings from the oil and lay them on paper towels to remove excess oil.
7. If you wish, you can finish the dish by tossing the chicken wings in a sauce (like Buffalo or barbecue) before serving.

You can serve them with dipping sauces on the side, such as ranch dressing, blue cheese sauce, or a simple mayonnaise.
