Sesame Wings: A Quick and Delicious Delight

When it comes to dishes that combine flavor and speed, sesame wings are definitely on my favorite list. These little delights are not only easy to prepare but also incredibly tasty, with a crunchy texture and an aromatic flavor thanks to the sesame. Over time, wings have become a beloved dish for many, served on various occasions, from quick dinners to gatherings with friends. Today, I invite you to discover this simple and effective recipe, perfect for any time of the day.

Preparation time: 15 minutes
Cooking time: 15 minutes
Total time: 30 minutes
Servings: 2-3

Ingredients:
- 5-6 chicken wings
- 1-2 eggs (depending on the number and size of the wings)
- Chicken spices (my recommendations: blends from Kamis)
- 1 packet of sesame (about 100g)
- Ground white pepper (to taste)
- Oil (for frying)
- Salt (optional, depending on preferences)

Step 1: Preparing the Wings
Start by washing the chicken wings well. It is essential to dry them with a kitchen towel so that no water remains that could affect frying. This detail helps achieve a crispy crust, and the wings will be much tastier.

Step 2: Preparing the Egg Mixture
In a bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them well with a whisk or fork. Add the ground white pepper and the chicken spices. If you are like me and prefer not to add salt, make sure the spice mix has enough flavor. Taste is essential!

Step 3: Preparing the Sesame
On a flat plate, place the sesame. This will be the crunchy base for your wings. You can choose to mix the sesame with breadcrumbs for an even crunchier texture. If you opt for this option, the proportions are about one packet of sesame and 50g of breadcrumbs.

Step 4: Coating the Wings
Dip each wing into the egg mixture, ensuring it is evenly coated. Then, place the wings on the sesame plate, pressing gently to ensure the sesame sticks well. Now, your wings are ready for frying.

Step 5: Frying the Wings
In a deep pan, heat the oil. It is important that the oil is well heated to prevent the wings from absorbing too much oil. Carefully place the wings in the pan, being careful not to overcrowd them. Fry for 5-7 minutes on each side until golden and crispy. Remember to check constantly to avoid burning the sesame.

Step 6: Finishing the Dish
Once the wings are fried, remove them onto a paper towel to absorb excess oil. You can serve them immediately or let them cool slightly. Enjoy!

Serving Suggestions
These sesame wings are delicious served hot, alongside a side of fries. I recommend cutting the potatoes into cubes for a crunchy exterior and soft interior, perfect for complementing the flavor of the wings.

Healthy Version
If you want to try a healthier version, you can bake the wings in the oven. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, drizzling with a little olive oil, and bake at 200°C for about 30 minutes, turning them halfway through.

Nutritional Benefits
Chicken wings are an excellent source of protein, and sesame adds extra nutrients, including calcium and B vitamins. This recipe is suitable for those who want to enjoy a quick meal without compromising on taste or health.
