Ingredients Method

Ingredients

  

For the Chicken:

• 2 lbs chicken wings
• 1 egg beaten
• 1 tbsp cornstarch
• 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
• 2 cups cooking oil canola, vegetable, or your fave frying oil

For the Marinade:

• 2 tsp garlic powder
• 2 tsp onion powder
• 1 tsp paprika
• 1 head garlic crushed
• ½ tsp ground white pepper
• ¾ tsp salt
• 2 tbsp soy sauce

For the Sauce:

• ¾ cup mayonnaise
• ¾ cup sour cream
• 1 tsp chopped dill
• ½ tsp chopped parsley
• ¼ tsp garlic powder
• ⅛ tsp onion powder
• ¼ tsp kosher salt adjust to taste
• ⅛ tsp black pepper
• Juice of 1 lime

Method

 

1. Marinate the Chicken: Mix all marinade ingredients in a bowl. Add your chicken wings, coat them well, then cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. This step locks in flavor and makes the chicken super tasty.
2. Whip Up the Sauce: In another bowl, combine all the sauce ingredients. Give it a good stir until it’s creamy and smooth. Pop it in the fridge while the chicken marinates.
3. Coat the Chicken: Crack the egg and mix it with the marinated wings. Slowly add the cornstarch and flour. Mix until everything is nicely coated.
4. Time to Fry: Heat the oil in a wok or deep pan over medium heat. Once the oil hits about 350°F (you can test with a chopstick or thermometer), gently add the wings one at a time. Fry for 8–10 minutes until golden and crispy. Remove and let them cool for about 10–12 minutes.
5. Double Fry (Yes, It’s Worth It): For that extra crunch, fry the wings one more time for just 1 minute. Trust me—it makes a difference!
6. Serve It Up: Serve your crispy wings hot with that creamy garlic ranch dip on the side. You’ll be licking your fingers in no time.

🍚 What to Serve Crispy Garlic Fried Chicken Wings, With

• Garlic Fried Rice (Sinangag) – For a hearty Filipino combo.
• Mashed Potatoes – Classic and comforting.
• Crispy French Fries – Always a winner with wings.

💡 Tips for Success of Crispy Garlic Fried Chicken Wings

• Marinate well – Let the chicken sit in the marinade for at least an hour (overnight is even better!) to let all those savory flavors soak in.
• Dry the wings before coating – Pat them dry with paper towels so the flour and cornstarch stick better, making your wings crispier.
• Don’t overcrowd the pan – Fry in small batches so the oil stays hot and the wings cook evenly without turning soggy.
• Double fry for extra crunch – Let the wings cool after the first fry, then fry them again quickly to get that ultimate crispy finish.
• Use a wire rack after frying – Skip the paper towels. Resting the wings on a rack helps them stay crunchy by letting excess oil drip off.
• Serve immediately – Fried chicken is best enjoyed fresh and hot—crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside!
