Why This Meal Is A Winner
These wings pack a punch with a blend of bold spices that awaken your taste buds. They are crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside, making them a perfect snack or meal. Plus, they are easy to make and great for sharing with friends and family.
Step 1
Grab a big bowl and toss the chicken wings with chili flakes, cumin, chili powder, black pepper, salt, garlic powder, chili sauce, soy sauce, and a splash of vinegar. Mix everything well so the wings are nicely coated. Cover the bowl and let the wings marinate for at least 30 minutes, or pop them in the fridge overnight if you have time.
Step 2
Pour some all-purpose flour into another bowl. Take each wing and coat it in the flour, then dip it quickly into cold water. After that, give it another roll in the flour to get a nice, crispy coating. Shake off any extra flour before cooking.
Step 3
Heat some oil in a deep pan over medium-high heat. Fry the wings in batches until they’re golden brown and crispy all over. When they’re done, transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to soak up any excess oil.
Step 4
Serve the wings hot with your favorite dipping sauce and enjoy!
