Prepare the Schezwan Sauce
Toss and Serve
Replace chicken wings with cauliflower florets (Gobi), paneer cubes, or large mushrooms. Follow the same coating and frying process, adjusting the cooking time as needed.
For a lower-fat option, bake the coated wings at 400°F (200°C) for 40-45 minutes, or air-fry at 380°F (190°C) for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy. Then toss in the sauce.
Try this recipe with large prawns or fish fillets cut into bite-sized pieces. The frying time will be much shorter, typically 2-4 minutes depending on the size.
Chicken is an excellent source of high-quality lean protein, which is essential for building and repairing tissues, supporting muscle growth, and maintaining overall body function.
The capsaicin found in the chillies used in Schezwan sauce can provide a temporary boost to your metabolism and may aid in fat oxidation.
Key ingredients like garlic and ginger are packed with powerful antioxidants and compounds like allicin and gingerol, known for their anti-inflammatory and immune-boosting properties.
A serving of 3-4 Schezwan Chicken Wings contains approximately 450-550 calories, primarily due to the deep-frying process and the sugar and oils in the sauce.
As a deep-fried dish, Schezwan Chicken Wings are considered an indulgence rather than a healthy meal. They are high in fat, sodium, and calories. To make a healthier version, consider baking or air-frying the wings.
Yes, you can easily adjust the spice level. Reduce the amount of Schezwan sauce and green chillies, and you can slightly increase the tomato ketchup to balance the flavors.
Absolutely! For baking, place the coated wings on a wire rack over a baking sheet and bake at 400°F (200°C) for 40-45 minutes. For air-frying, cook at 380°F (190°C) for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway, until crispy.
These wings are a fantastic appetizer on their own. They also pair well with vegetable fried rice, hakka noodles, or a simple side salad to cut through the richness.
Store leftover wings in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat and restore some crispiness, use an oven or air fryer at 375°F (190°C) for 5-8 minutes. Microwaving will make them soft.
