Preparation

How to prepare Fried chicken wings

To prepare fried chicken wings, first clean the wings: remove the tip of the bone by cutting it off cleanly 1, then eliminate any remaining feathers by burning them with a culinary torch 2. Briefly rinse the chicken wings under running water 3.

Dry well with paper towels 4. Transfer the chicken wings to a bowl and season with salt 5, pepper, and lemon juice 6.

Add the paprika 7 and mix with your hands to evenly flavor 8. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let marinate in the fridge for 30 minutes 9.

Prepare the batter: beat the eggs in a bowl 10, then add salt, pepper, and flour 11. Mix well with a whisk 12.

You should achieve a fluid and homogeneous consistency 13. For the breading: place the panko and breadcrumbs in a bowl 14, then mix 15.

After the marinating time, take the chicken wings and immerse them first in the batter 16 and then in the breading, covering both sides well 17. As you bread them, place the wings on a tray 18.

Set the wings aside for a moment and prepare the yogurt sauce: in a small bowl, combine the yogurt, mustard 19, honey 20, and lemon juice 21.

Add salt, pepper, and chopped chives 22, then mix to combine 23. You’re ready for frying: heat the oil in a saucepan and, when it reaches 356°F, immerse a few wings at a time 24.

Fry until golden brown, then drain 25 and transfer to paper towels 26. Add a pinch of salt and serve your fried chicken wings with the yogurt sauce 27!

Storage

It is advisable to consume fried chicken wings as soon as they are ready. If any are left over, you can store them in the refrigerator for one day and heat them in the oven before serving.
