Easy recipe for crispy chicken wings without using egg or milk in the coating, utilizing a pre-frying trick.
Recipe Video
Ingredients
- Chicken wingettes (mid-joint)
- Hot paprika
- Saffron powder (or annatto/achiote)
- Turmeric
- Cornstarch
- All-purpose flour
- Breadcrumbs
- Salt and pepper mix
- Oil
Instructions
Thoroughly clean the chicken wings, ensuring any pin feathers are removed, and pat them completely dry.
In a bowl, prepare the dry coating mixture by combining the all-purpose flour, breadcrumbs, cornstarch, hot paprika, saffron powder, turmeric, and the salt and pepper mix.
Season the chicken with dry spices (excluding the coating mixture) and mix well until all pieces are coated.
Heat a generous amount of oil over medium-low heat. The oil should be at a cooler temperature to start the cooking process.
Dica: The initial oil temperature should be lower than normal for frying.
Pre-fry the chicken wings in the still-not-too-hot fat for about 2 minutes, or until the chicken begins to release a greasy residue and looks slightly 'sticky,' indicating that it has started to cook internally.
Dica: This step is the trick: the melted fat from the chicken itself will help the base of the coating adhere.
Remove the wings from the pan and quickly drain the excess fat in a wire rack (do not use paper towels at this stage).
Immediately after draining the pre-fry, dredge the wings in the coating mixture prepared in Step 2, ensuring they are well covered and firmly packed.
Dica: The residual heat and the rendered fat will cause the mixture to stick firmly.
Increase the oil temperature to normal frying heat (now hot). Fry the coated wings until they are golden brown.
Dica: It is not necessary to dry them again after this final fry, as the pre-fry already cooked the interior.
Drain the fried wings using the same wire rack used previously, ensuring they stay dry and crispy.
Dica: Using a wire rack helps maintain crispiness without absorbing extra oil like paper towels would.
