How to fry crispy chicken wings?

  • Heat oil in a heavy-bottomed pan for frying.
    Vegetable oil for frying
  • Once the oil is hot, drop chicken wings in batches and fry on medium to medium-high flame till they are crispy and golden brown in color. Do not overcrowd the pan.
  • Transfer this to a paper towel to absorb any excess oil
  • Repeat the process for the remaining wings.
  • Serve with yogurt dip, and enjoy. 

Notes

  • To check if the oil is hot enough, drop a small piece of wings and check if it sizzles and comes up.
  • Vary all the spices as per your taste.
  • Use bread crumbs instead of flour if desired for the second coat in the dry wet dry method.
