Garlic Fried Chicken Wings: A Step-by-Step Guide

Garlic fried chicken wings are a crowd-pleasing dish, crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and bursting with aromatic garlic flavor. Here’s a simple yet delicious recipe to recreate them at home.

Ingredients:

- 12 chicken wings

- 3 cloves garlic, minced

- 1 cup all-purpose flour

- 1 tsp paprika

- 1/2 tsp salt

- 1/2 tsp black pepper

- 1/2 cup milk

- Oil for frying

Instructions:

1. Prepare the wings: Rinse the wings and pat dry with a paper towel. Using a fork, prick each wing several times to help the marinade penetrate. In a bowl, mix minced garlic, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Rub the mixture over the wings and let marinate for 30 minutes.

2. Make the batter: In a separate bowl, combine flour, paprika, remaining salt, and pepper. Gradually add milk, whisking until you get a smooth, thick batter.

3. Fry the wings: Heat oil in a deep pot or fryer to 350°F (175°C). Dip each marinated wing into the batter, coating evenly, then carefully drop into the hot oil. Fry in batches for 8-10 minutes until golden brown and crispy.

4. Finish and serve: Remove wings with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. For extra garlicky goodness, toss the hot wings in a bowl with 1 tbsp minced garlic and a pinch of salt. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce, like ranch or sweet chili.
