KFC-Style Wings

Ingredients

• 40 chicken wings (The source specifies: 40 pieces.)
• 2 tbsp salt, paprika, hot black pepper, and chicken seasoning (For the marinade; the source lists the spice mixture as one line.)
• 2 garlic (The source does not specify whether this refers to cloves or heads.)
• 600 ml cold water (For the marinade.)
• 500 g flour (For the coating.)
• 3.4 tbsp salt, hot red pepper, paprika, chicken seasoning, and herbes de Provence (For the coating. The source states “3.4 tbsp”; it may mean 3–4 tablespoons.)
• 0.5 prepared coating mixture (Half of the prepared coating mixture is used for the batter.)
• 2.3 eggs (The source states “2.3 pieces”; it probably means 2–3 eggs.)
• 2 tbsp cold water (For the batter; the source abbreviates this as “2 tbsp” without specifying the unit, interpreted as tablespoons.)
• vegetable oil (For frying; the quantity is not specified.)
• paper napkins (For placing the cooked wings; not an edible ingredient.)

Steps

1. 1

   Prepare the marinade: mix the cold water, the salt and spice mixture, and the garlic. Add the chicken wings and leave them to marinate for 2–3 hours.

2. 2

   Mix the flour with the salt, hot red pepper, paprika, chicken seasoning, and herbes de Provence to prepare the coating.

3. 3

   Divide the prepared coating mixture into two portions.

4. 4

   Mix one portion of the coating mixture with the eggs and cold water to prepare the batter.

5. 5

   Dip the marinated wings into the egg-and-coating mixture so that they are covered with batter.

6. 6

   Transfer the wings to the second portion of dry coating and coat them thoroughly on all sides.

7. 7

   Heat the vegetable oil. Fry the coated wings in the preheated oil for 15 minutes.

8. 8

   Place the cooked wings on a plate lined with a paper napkin.

Notes

The source does not specify the oil temperature, the amount of oil, or how to check whether the wings are cooked through. The “2.3” and “3.4” quantities in the original text are ambiguous and have been preserved with explanations.
