How to cook chicken wings in a slow cooker with a crispy crust?
1. To prepare rosy, juicy wings, you can use several multicooker modes: “Frying”, “Baking”, “Deep-Frying”, “Stewing”, etc., and also combine them to achieve a more tasty result.
2. You can cook the wings whole or pre-divide them into 3 parts according to the tendons. The last phalanx, on which there is practically no meat, is usually used for discarding or cooking broth.
3. Cooking method is key to crispiness. To make the skin golden, crispy, and appetizing, you usually use the “Frying” or “Baking” programs (or their analogues), and if necessary, bring the wings to readiness in other modes.
4. A crispy crust is also obtained through the use of special marinades with the addition of honey or sugar. The skin on the chicken caramelizes and turns out glossy, very appetizing.
5. It is better to fry or bake wings with the multicooker lid closed. Firstly, this will prevent greasy splashes from getting on surrounding objects, and secondly, the chicken will reach condition faster.
6. Many spices are combined with wings, here are the main ones: garlic, marjoram, basil, rosemary, turmeric, dried dill, paprika, peppers of all kinds, oregano, etc.
7. You can add vegetables and grains to the wings in the slow cooker. You will get a main dish and a side dish at once - a ready-made lunch or dinner.
Useful tips
Completely different types of sauces and side dishes go well with excellent chicken wings in a slow cooker. When preparing you should:
- Remove remaining feathers and stumps on the edges of the wings;
- To increase juiciness and softness, add a little lemon juice;
- Use fresh chilled wings to make the dish more juicy;
- For flavor, add garlic, herbs, ginger, favorite spices (oregano, basil, black pepper, paprika);
- Cut the wings in two places along the joint before marinating - the skin may prevent the absorption of the marinade.
A slow cooker is an excellent option if you need to save time, and the wings cook in it very quickly (within half an hour) and take about an additional fifty minutes to get a crispy crust.
Easy fried wings recipe
Ingredients for 3-4 servings:
chicken wings – 500 g | odorless vegetable oil - 3-4 tbsp. l. |
salt - 0.5 tsp. (taste) | favorite spices or ready-made seasoning (I used herbs de Provence, black pepper) - approximately 1.5 tsp. |
Step-by-step recipe for cooking fried wings in a slow cooker:
-1- Wash the wings and dry. If desired, divide them into 3 parts at the joints; the outer phalanges can be discarded or broth can be made from them. Place the wings in a bowl and sprinkle with spices. This time I decided to limit myself to a mixture of Provençal herbs and freshly ground pepper. It is recommended to salt the already fried side during cooking in order to retain the maximum amount of juice inside. | |
-2- Add the oil and mix thoroughly with your hands. It is advisable to set aside at least half an hour for marinating to make the chicken more flavorful. Simply cover and leave the wings at room temperature for no more than 1 hour. For longer marinating, you should put them in the refrigerator. | |
-3- It is recommended to fry wings in a slow cooker in small portions of 4-6 pieces, so that the temperature of the bowl does not decrease due to the large amount of cold meat. If the heating is insufficient, the wings will not fry, but stew in their own juice, and you won’t get a crispy crust or juicy meat. Grease the bowl with oil; you don’t need to pour a lot, since the fat is already contained in the marinade. Turn on the “Roast” program and heat up the multicooker. Place the wings in a single row so that their surface is in maximum contact with the bottom of the bowl. Fry for 5 minutes on one side. Advice:If you can select the temperature in this mode, set the average value. This will ensure the chicken cooks as evenly as possible inside and out. | |
-4- Then turn it over to the other side and salt the finished side. Fry the same amount. In total, the wings should be fried for at least 25-30 minutes, turning them over to the other side every 5 minutes. | |
-5- Serve delicious crispy wings hot for a main course or as an appetizer, with your favorite sauces, salads and/or side dishes. |
