Fry the Chicken Wings
Drain and Serve
Add 1 tsp of cayenne pepper or chili powder to the flour mixture for a spicy kick. Serve with a side of chili garlic sauce.
After frying, toss the wings in a glaze made from 1/4 cup honey, 2 tbsp soy sauce, and 2 minced garlic cloves, heated in a saucepan until slightly thickened.
After frying, toss the hot wings in a wok with a mixture of toasted Sichuan peppercorns, coarse salt, and freshly cracked black pepper, along with some stir-fried minced garlic and sliced chili peppers.
Chicken wings are rich in high-quality protein, which is essential for building and repairing tissues, supporting muscle growth, and maintaining overall body function.
Chicken is a good source of niacin, a B-vitamin that helps convert food into energy and is important for the health of your nervous system, digestive system, and skin.
A serving of approximately 6 pieces (323g) contains around 600-750 calories, depending on the size of the wings and the amount of oil absorbed during frying.
Fried chicken wings are high in calories, fat, and sodium, so they are best enjoyed in moderation as a treat. They are a good source of protein, but the deep-frying method adds significant fat content.
Yes, for a healthier version. After coating the wings, spray them lightly with oil. Air fry at 400°F (200°C) for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and cooked through. The texture will be crispy but slightly different from deep-fried.
A neutral oil with a high smoke point is best. Vegetable oil, canola oil, peanut oil, or corn oil are all excellent choices for deep-frying.
The most reliable way is to use a meat thermometer. The internal temperature of the thickest part of the wing should reach at least 165°F (74°C). Visually, the juices should run clear when pierced.
You can marinate the wings up to 24 hours in advance. For best results, fry them just before serving. If you need to reheat, use an oven or air fryer at 375°F (190°C) for 5-10 minutes to restore crispiness.
