Ever since I've been using this recipe, my wings are unrivaled. The crispy coating, spices, and juicy meat delight everyone, from the youngest guests to friends and older family members. As soon as they appear on the table, a forest of hands immediately reaches for these morsels.

Crunchy chicken wings better than KFC

Homemade breaded chicken wings are a great snack for a party, a game, or simply a weekend meal. They are delicious, crunchy, and full of flavor. If your breading has turned out to be a greasy shell and the meat bland in taste, it means you haven't tried this recipe yet.

The secret lies in the marinade, which softens the meat, and in double frying, which makes the wings wonderfully crunchy. Adjust the quantity and type of spices to your taste. If you like bold flavors, add more hot paprika or curry. Granulated garlic or a spice mix for golden chicken will also work well.

Ingredients:

                              
  • 2.2 lbs of chicken wings
  • 2 cups of milk
  • 1 tablespoon of plain yogurt
  • 2 eggs
  • 3-4 cups of flour
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Chicken seasoning, curry, hot and smoked paprika, oregano

Preparation:

  1. Divide the chicken wings into parts. Do not use the third, smallest part (wingtip). There isn't much meat on it, so it won't be good for crunching. You can freeze it for later use when making broth.
  2. Crack the eggs in a bowl. Add yogurt, milk, and spices to taste, and mix thoroughly.
  3. Put the wings in the marinade and mix so they are well-covered.
  4. Place in the fridge for an hour.
  5. Pour the flour into a large bowl.
  6. Coat the wings in flour, dip them in the remaining marinade, and then place them in the flour again.
  7. Throw into hot, deep oil and fry until golden.
  8. Remove the wings from the oil, set aside for 10 minutes, and then fry them again to make them even crunchier. Make sure nothing burns.
  9. Drain excess oil on a paper towel.

Serve with your favorite dip. Enjoy!
