Crispy salt & pepper chicken wings
Ingredients:
- 2 pounds chicken wings
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- Vegetable oil, for frying
- Fresh cilantro or parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions:
Rinse the chicken wings and pat them dry with paper towels.
In a large bowl, combine the flour, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. Mix well.
Add the chicken wings to the flour mixture and toss to coat them evenly.
In a large skillet or deep fryer, heat enough vegetable oil to fully submerge the chicken wings. Heat the oil to 350°F (175°C).
Carefully place the coated chicken wings into the hot oil, in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding.
Fry the wings for about 10-12 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Make sure they are cooked through and reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Using a slotted spoon or tongs, remove the wings from the oil and transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Sprinkle the hot wings with additional salt and pepper, to taste.
Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro or parsley for added freshness and flavor.
Serve the crispy salt and pepper chicken wings immediately as an appetizer or main dish.
These crispy salt and pepper chicken wings are full of flavor and have a satisfying crunch. The combination of salt, black pepper, garlic, and onion powder adds a delightful seasoning to the wings. They make a great party appetizer or game day snack that is sure to be a hit. Enjoy!
