Crispy Fried Chicken Wings with Onions
Golden, crunchy chicken wings marinated for flavor and fried to perfection, finished with a quick toss with aromatic onions.
Story
This recipe delivers a satisfying crunch with every bite. By scoring the wings and marinating them beforehand, the flavor penetrates deep into the meat. A final stir-fry with onions adds a fragrant finish that balances the richness of the fried chicken.
Ingredients
Chicken wings
500g
Salt
1 tsp
MSG or chicken powder
1/2 tsp
Cooking oil
For deep frying
Purple onion or shallot
1/2 cup, sliced
Instructions
1
Prepare the Wings
Place the chicken wings in a bowl. Use a knife to make shallow diagonal cuts (score) on both sides of each wing to help them cook faster and absorb the marinade.
2
Marinate
Season the wings generously with salt and MSG (or chicken powder). Rub the seasoning into the meat and let them sit for about 15 minutes to absorb the flavors.
3
Deep Fry
Heat oil in a wok or deep pan until it reaches about 80% of smoking point (approximately 350°F/180°C). Carefully slide the marinated wings into the hot oil. Fry until they turn a golden brown color and are cooked through.
4
Finish with Onions
Remove the wings from the oil and drain briefly. Toss them back into the wok with the sliced purple onions. Stir-fry quickly for a minute until the onions are fragrant and slightly wilted, then serve immediately.
