Fried Chicken Wings
Crispy fried chicken wings served with a tangy and spicy dipping sauce, perfect as an appetizer or snack.
Ingredients
- 6 chicken wings
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
- Oil for frying
- 1 tablespoon Schezwan sauce
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1/2 teaspoon soy sauce
For the Sauce:
Instructions
- Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels.
- In a bowl, combine the flour, salt, black pepper, paprika, and cayenne pepper.
- Dredge the chicken wings in the flour mixture, ensuring they are evenly coated. Shake off any excess flour.
- Heat oil in a deep fryer or a large, deep skillet to 175°C.
- Carefully add the coated chicken wings to the hot oil, frying in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding.
- Fry the wings for about 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown and cooked through.
- Remove the wings and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the Schezwan sauce, butter, honey, and soy sauce.
- Stir until the butter is melted and the ingredients are well combined. Remove from heat.
- Place the fried chicken wings in a bowl.
- Pour the prepared sauce over the wings and toss to coat them evenly.
- Serve the sauced wings hot, accompanied by celery sticks and a side of ranch or blue cheese dressing if desired.
Note
- For best results, ensure the oil is at the correct temperature before frying to achieve a crispy exterior.
- Adjust the spice level of the sauce to your preference.
