Chicken wings are a delicacy appreciated by many, and preparing them in a crispy and savory way is an art in itself. We start by cutting the wings in half, making them easier to handle. Then, we place them in a pot of cold water, adding a teaspoon of salt to give them a slightly salty taste. It is essential to let the wings simmer on low heat to achieve tender and well-cooked meat. During boiling, we don't forget to skim the soup periodically, removing any impurities from the surface.
After about 20-30 minutes, when the wings are cooked, we carefully remove them from the pot and let them cool slightly. At this point, we season them with salt and freshly ground pepper to enhance the flavors. Spices are essential, and a mix of spices can add a special touch.
In a separate plate, we crack 1-2 eggs and beat them well, adding a pinch of salt or even a bit of seasoning for extra flavor. We then prepare two plates: one with white flour and another with crushed cornflakes, which we lightly crush with our hands to make them smaller. This combination will give the wings a crispy and delicious crust.
The seasoned wings are first rolled in flour, ensuring they are well coated, then dipped in the beaten eggs, and finally rolled in the crushed cornflakes. This is the key step to achieving the desired texture.
In a deep pan, we heat the oil over medium heat, being careful not to make it too hot to avoid burning the crust. When the oil is ready, we add the wings and fry them until golden and crispy, turning them on all sides for even browning.
To complete this delicious meal, we serve the wings alongside crispy French fries, which are perfect for absorbing the flavors. Additionally, a roasted garlic paste is the ideal choice to add an intense and savory taste. This paste is easy to prepare, and you can find the recipe on Ioana's blog. Enjoy your meal!
