Crispy Fried Chicken - KFC Style Wings
Ingredients
- 500 g Chicken wings
- 2 tbsp White vinegar
- 1 tsp salt (for soaking)
For Dry Batter
- 1 cup Flour
- 1 tsp salt (adjust to taste)
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp red chili powder
Chicken Marinating
- 1 tbsp ginger garlic paste
- 3 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp salt (for marination)
- 1 tbsp red chili powder
- 1 tsp black pepper
- Oil for deep frying
Instructions
Prepare Chicken
- In a mixing bowl, combine the chicken wings, white vinegar, and 1 teaspoon of salt. Let them soak for 10 minutes. This helps to tenderize and clean the chicken.
Prepare Dry Batter
- In another bowl, prepare the dry batter by mixing together the all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon salt, black pepper, and red chili powder.
Marinate the Chicken
- Drain the chicken wings from the vinegar mixture and place them in a large bowl. Add ginger garlic paste, lemon juice, 1 teaspoon salt, red chili powder, and black pepper to the chicken. Make sure the chicken is well-coated with this marination mixture. Let the chicken marinate for about 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to penetrate.
- Take each marinated chicken wing and coat it with the prepared dry batter mixture. Ensure an even and thick coating. Dip the coated wings in chilled cold water. This helps to set the first coating and create a crispy texture.
- Roll the wet, coated chicken wings again in the dry batter mixture. Press the batter onto the wings to create a thick and even coating
Frying the Chicken
- Preheat the oil in a deep frying pan or pot to around 350°F (175°C).Gently place the coated and chilled chicken wings into the hot oil. Fry the wings on low medium flame for about 10 minutes or until they turn golden brown and crispy.
Serve
- Place the crispy fried chicken wings on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil. Serve the double-coated crispy fried chicken wings hot, along with your preferred dipping sauces.

Notes
- The double coating process (dipping in batter, then chilled water, followed by another coat of batter) helps achieve an extra crispy texture. The cold water helps create steam pockets between the two layers of batter, resulting in a light and crunchy exterior.
- Place the fried wings on a plate lined with paper towels to remove excess oil before serving.
FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions):
Can I bake these chicken wings instead of frying them?
While frying is the traditional method for achieving that crispy exterior, you can certainly bake these chicken wings in the oven for a healthier option. Simply place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake at 400°F (200°C) for about 30-35 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
What dipping sauces do you recommend for these chicken wings?
These crispy chicken wings pair well with a variety of dipping sauces, including barbecue sauce, buffalo sauce, ranch dressing, honey mustard, or garlic aioli. Feel free to experiment with different flavors to find your favorite combination.
Can I prepare the chicken wings in advance and reheat them later?
While these wings are best enjoyed fresh and hot, you can prepare them in advance and reheat them in the oven or air fryer until they are warmed through and crispy again. Just be sure not to overcook them to maintain their juicy texture.
