Juicy chicken wings fried in batter can be prepared either simply in a deep frying pan with high sides, or deep-fried in a pan. They should be eaten as a main dish with a side dish of potatoes, any vegetables or rice, or as a cold or hot appetizer. Delicious in any form!

Products:

• 12 chicken wings
• 2-3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 table spoon sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 3 cm ginger root (or 60 g grated)
• 0.5-1 teaspoon chili pepper
• 1-2 large cloves of garlic
• 2-2.5 table. spoons of potato starch
• 2 eggs (whites)
• Vegetable oil for frying

Cooking step by step:

First you need to marinate the chicken wings. It's best to make this the night before so they can sit in the marinade in the refrigerator at least overnight. If you don't have that much time, let them marinate for at least 30 minutes.

Wash the wings, divide into 3 parts according to the joints. You can leave the smallest tip for broth or chicken jellied meat

In order for the wings to marinate well, you need to cut the skin in two places, since it is quite thick and does not allow the marinade to pass through to the meat.

Place the wings in a deep cup

And pour soy sauce on top

Sprinkle with sugar. Sugar enhances the taste of all spices, which is why it is always added to marinades.

Peel the ginger root and grate it on a fine grater. Add a cup with wings. If you don't have fresh ginger, use dried ginger. We do the same with garlic. You either grate it or pass it through a crusher.

Add hot red pepper.

Add a little sesame oil. If you don't have one, add vegetable. Mix everything well

Cover with cling film and place in the refrigerator to marinate at least overnight.

The next day, take out the wings and mix them.

Add the batter directly to the bowl with the marinated wings.

It is necessary to break 2 eggs and separate the white from the yolk. For the batter we only need protein.

Then we add 2 tables. spoons of potato starch and mix everything well so that the batter is evenly distributed over the surface of the marinated wings.

You can prepare the batter separately in another bowl and dip the wings in it just before frying. Do what is most convenient for you

Chicken wings in batter can be simply fried in a frying pan in refined vegetable oil, like pink salmon in batter. Or deep-fry them, i.e. in a large amount of heated oil, in a deep bowl.

Heat the oil over heat in a deep saucepan.

Place one piece into it. Do not add a lot at once, so as not to lower the temperature of the fryer.

Fry in a boiling state for 10-12 minutes. If you doubt that the meat is ready, check it. Remove a piece from the boiling oil and cut it, if the meat is light and soft, then everything is ready. It's time to take it out.

Remove with a slotted spoon and place on a plate with a paper towel to absorb excess oil.

Transfer to a plate, you can sprinkle with fresh green onions or dill. Serve with a side dish or simply as an incredibly tasty snack with beer.

Enjoy! Bon appetit!

Spicy chicken wings like KFC

Everyone knows that the original recipe for the marinade for KFS chicken wings is classified. But lovers of these wings are constantly experimenting in order to get closer to their favorite taste, time after time inventing delicious varieties of the original recipe.

On YouTube, under many video recipes there are comments from chefs who worked at KFC, and thanks to them we know the secret of the crispy breading of the famous chicken wings. If you are not destined to learn the secrets of the marinade, then you can easily invent your own, but the wings will crisp and look the same in KFS.

There are recipes where the breading includes crushed unsweetened cornflakes or oatmeal. But in the original (according to KFS employees), the composition of the breading is much simpler - flour with red pepper for hot wings and an egg-milk mixture are added to non-spicy wings and that’s it. The secret is in the double breading technology

So,

Recipe for making hot wings like KFC at home

Products

• 500-600 g chicken wings
• 1 chili pepper
• 0.5 glasses of water
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 0.5 teaspoon ground red pepper
• 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
• flour, red paprika and salt for breading

Cooking step by step

Preparing the marinade Finely chop the hot chili pepper and place it in a cup of water in which we will marinate the wings. Add vegetable oil there.

Hot ground red pepper and ground black pepper

Mix everything.

Wash the chicken wings and cut them into 3 pieces at the joint. Place parts of the wings in the marinade, mix with a spoon (so as not to burn the skin of your hands) and leave for 8-12 hours to marinate.

To better soak the wings in the marinade, you can either pierce the skin with a knife in several places, or make a transverse cut on both sides on the part of the wings where there are 2 bones. Where there is only one bone, you can cut the skin lengthwise. Chicken skin is thick and the marinade does not pass through it well to the meat. By cutting it, you will allow the wings to soak better.

After 12 hours, the chicken wings can be fried. Prepare the breading: for spicy KFS wings, mix flour with salt and paprika.

Place marinated wings in this mixture

and roll it well with your hands on all sides.

Then place them in a colander or sieve and shake off excess breading. Now immerse the wings directly in the sieve in cold water (water temperature no higher than 26 degrees) Do not shake the sieve. Just wait until all the air bubbles come to the surface.

We take the sieve with wings out of the water and wait for it to drain. Shake a little. Then dump the wings back into the breading mixture of flour, salt and red paprika.

We carefully roll them in it. Heat the vegetable oil over the fire and dip our breaded wings into it. Carefully, slowly, one at a time, so that the oil does not splash too much and the temperature does not drop.

Deep fry for 10 minutes. Remove the finished wings using a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel to absorb excess fat.

That's all! Spicy chicken wings like KFC are ready!

If you really like spicy things, eat wings with spicy tomato sauce. Bon appetit!

Chicken wings in honey-soy sauce in the oven in a frying pan

This is the simplest recipe for wings in honey. They turn out very tasty and juicy

Products:

• 500-600 g chicken wings
• 1-2 table. spoons of honey
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce (40 ml)
• 3-4 cloves of garlic
• 0.5 teaspoon ground pepper (mixture of 4 peppers)

How to marinate and cook chicken wings in honey and soy sauce

Wash the chicken wings well under running water.

Cut along the joint into 2 parts.

If you don't like the ends, you can cut them off. You don’t have to cut the wings at all, but marinate them whole. I leave them in, I like the crunch of the fried wing tips. This is acceptable when baking in the oven. If you deep-fry the wings, it is better to remove them so that they do not burn, since there is almost no meat in them and they cook faster.

Prepare marinade with honey and soy sauce

You can adjust the amount of honey to your taste; I added 1.5 tablespoons of thick honey to the marinade. The wings turned out noticeably sweet with an amazing aroma of honey.

If your honey is thick, heat it until liquid in a water bath or in the microwave.

Add soy sauce to the cup of honey.

The garlic must be peeled and washed. Pass through a garlic press (press).

Add ground pepper. I have a mixture of four peppers. I really like it - spicy and aromatic.

Mix everything well. You can add a little salt to the marinade sauce or just salt the wings on top

Dip the prepared wings into the honey-soy marinade. Mix well so that the marinade is on the entire surface.

Cover with a lid or cling film and leave to marinate for at least 2 hours. If you don't have time, marinate for 20 minutes. You can marinate for a day, but in the refrigerator. My wings were marinated for 5 hours at room temperature.

Place the wings in a frying pan (I use cast iron) or on a baking sheet and place in a preheated oven to bake until golden brown. This usually takes 35-45 minutes.

When the wings are baked, remove them from the oven and place them on a plate.

These wings are good both warm and cold. If you don't eat the entire portion at once, store it in the refrigerator. They taste even better the next day.

Bon appetit!
