Chicken Wings

Ingredients

  • 1 kg of chicken wings (18 to 19 wings)
  • 2 cups of flour
  • 1 teaspoon of salt
  • 1/2 a teaspoon of red chili powder (optional)
  • 2 cups of oil to deep fry the chicken wings
  • BBQ sauce

Instructions

  1. Wash and let the wings drain excess water.
  2. Once this is done pat dry the wings.
  3. Place the chicken wing on the chopping board.
  4. Cut the tip and discard.
  5. Locate the joint that connects the drummette to the wing. Cut through this joint and you will have these two parts separated.
  6. You can use both the drumette and the wings for this recipe as well.
  7. Add the flour, salt, red chili powder in a bowl, then sift onto a deep tray.
  8. Toss the wings in this flour.
  9. Pour the oil into a frying pan and bring it to medium heat.
  10. Check the oil by adding a pinch of flour to it. If it sizzles then the oil is ready to fry the wings.
  11. Regulate the heat to maintain it by increasing and decreasing heat as you need. If you fry the chicken on high heat, the wings will be crispy on the outside but still raw on the inside.
  12. Add 3 wings at a time and deep fry them until they turn golden brown. Turn them over for an even fry. 5-8 minutes.
  13. Transfer onto the kitchen paper towels to absorb excess oil.
  14. Once you’ve fried all the wings, let them cool for 2 minutes.
  15. Place them in a large bowl and pour in the barbecue sauce. Start with 4 tablespoons of sauce, toss and add more as you need to smother the fried wings with the barbecue sauce. For best results serve the BBQ fried chicken wings while they are still slightly warm.
