ingredients
Steps
Prepare and Season
Clean the chicken wings, cutting them in half at the joint if desired. Wash thoroughly, then pat dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Breading
Set up three shallow dishes: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs. Dredge each chicken wing first in the flour, shaking off any excess, then dip into the egg, and finally coat thoroughly in the breadcrumbs, ensuring it's fully covered.
Frying
Heat a generous amount of vegetable oil in a deep skillet or pot over medium-high heat (approx. 170-175°C / 340-350°F). Carefully place the breaded chicken wings into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes per side. Remove the cooked wings and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Serving
Serve the crispy fried chicken wings immediately with a fresh salad, mashed potatoes, french fries, or rice. You can also offer garlic dip or ketchup on the side.
Extra Tips
► For an even crispier result, you can double-bread the wings by dipping them in egg and then breadcrumbs again after the first coating.
► Do not overcrowd the oil while frying; cook the wings in batches to ensure they fry evenly and become crispy.
► Before serving, drain any excess oil with paper towels for a lighter finish.
