How to Make Crisp Fried Chicken Wings

  1. Prepare the Coating: In a resealable plastic bag, combine ½ cup flour, ½ teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon paprika, ¼ teaspoon garlic powder, and ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper.
  2. Coat the Wings: Pour evaporated milk into a bowl. Dip each chicken wing in the milk, shake off the excess, and place it in the bag with the flour mixture. Seal the bag and shake until the wings are well-coated. Place the coated wings on a plate without letting them touch.
  3. Heat the Oil: Heat ½ cup olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  4. Fry the Wings: Fry the wings in the hot oil, turning them regularly, for about 25 minutes until they are browned on all sides and no longer pink at the bone. Ensure the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Sprinkle with additional paprika for extra flavor.

FAQs About Crisp Fried Chicken Wings

Can I use regular milk instead of evaporated milk?

While regular milk can be used, evaporated milk provides a thicker consistency that helps the coating adhere better, resulting in crispier wings.

Can I bake the wings instead of frying them?

Yes, you can bake the wings in an oven preheated to 400 degrees F for about 45-50 minutes, flipping them halfway through for even crispiness.

How do I ensure the wings are fully cooked?

Use an instant-read thermometer to check that the internal temperature of the wings reaches 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
