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.
