Recipe: KFC Style Spicy Hot Wings

THEY ARE SO GOOD! 😊 Yes, I know it sounds like an advertisement, but it's not - I'm just so thrilled that I found this recipe and it turned out amazing, even though it involves a lot of frying. Obviously, we can't know the original recipe, just like with Coca Cola, McDonald's, or other big brands, but this recipe reproduces the taste and crunch of KFC wings by about 99%.

Next up are the crispy strips, which are basically the same thing but made with chicken breast. Anyway, crispy strips will come later - after all this frying, I need to switch to salads 😉

Ingredients

12 chicken wings (approx. 800g)
1 egg
250 ml milk
1 cup flour
3 teaspoons chili powder
1/2 teaspoon + 1 pinch granulated garlic
1 teaspoon Vegeta seasoning
1 1/2 teaspoons salt

How to prepare kfc style spicy hot wings

  1. Cut the wings into 3 pieces and discard the tips. Wash them well and place in a pot. Cover with 2 cups of cold water mixed with 1/2 teaspoon granulated garlic, 1 teaspoon Vegeta, and 1 teaspoon salt. Refrigerate for about 2-4 hours.
  2. Place the pot on the stove and boil the wings for 10 minutes from when the water starts boiling. Drain the water and once they cool down a bit, pat them dry thoroughly with paper towels.
  3. In a bowl, beat the egg, then add the milk and mix well.
  4. In another bowl or container with a lid, mix the flour with the chili powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and a pinch of granulated garlic. Mix well.
  5. Dredge each wing through the flour mixture, then through the milk mixture, and again through the flour mixture.
    * I placed the wings loosely in the container with flour, covered it with the lid, and shook it until the wings were well coated - a trick from Mara 😉
  6. Heat a bottle of oil very well in a deep frying pan. I put 6 wings at a time in the special frying basket and submerged them in the oil bath for exactly 3 minutes. I removed them onto a plate lined with paper towels to absorb the grease.
    * The oil must be very hot - check it before frying the wings. To test it, I sprinkled a little flour in and when it sizzled loudly, I knew it was ready.
  7. Let the wings cool for at least 10 minutes. Serve warm or cold. They stay crunchy for about 2-3 hours after preparation.
