  • Total Time20 minutes
  • Yield2 portions

Ingredients

Chicken

  • 500 grams chicken wings
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon white pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 pinch sugar (omit if diabetic! It’s not necessary it just makes the chicken taste slightly better)
  • 30 grams cornstarch (coating)
  • 60 grams flour (coating)

Parmesan garlic butter

  • 2 tablespoons butter ((unsalted))
  • 3 garlic cloves (crushed, medium sized)
  • 50 grams parmesan cheese
  • pinch Salt (adjust to your liking (Parmesan is salty and each Parmesan cheese is slightly different!))
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1/2 teaspoon Chili flakes (O it if you don’t want spicy wings!)

Frying

  • 1 lt sunflower oil (it will not absorb barely any of it, but its good to deep fry!)

garnish

  • 1 tablespoon parmesan cheese

Instructions

Prepare the chicken wings.

  1. Prepare the chicken wings. In a large bowl, add the chicken wings, one egg, and all the seasonings (smoked paprika, white pepper, black pepper, garlic powder, salt, and a pinch of sugar). Mix everything together until the chicken is evenly coated—you should see a vibrant, well-seasoned mixture. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and set it aside.

Make the garlic Parmesan sauce.

  1. Melt butter Melt butter in a pan over low heat and add the chili flakes. Let the butter infuse with the chili flavor for a couple of minutes. Add the garlic paste (made by mashing 3 garlic cloves with a pinch of salt in a mortar). Cook for about 15–20 seconds until fragrant, then turn off the heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
  2. Prepare the sauce In a separate bowl, add one egg yolk and slowly whisk in the butter. Add the Parmesan cheese and mix well.

Coat the chicken.

  1. coat chicken To the bowl with the chicken, add cornstarch and flour. Mix until the chicken is fully coated. Add a bit more flour if needed.

Cook the garlic Parmesan wings.

  1. heat oil Heat oil in a pan over medium heat until it reaches 180°C (350°F).If you’re cooking both flats and drumsticks, start with the drumsticks. Fry them for about 8 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they’re beautifully golden brown.
  2. fry Next, fry the flats for about 6 minutes, flipping halfway through. Cooking them separately ensures they’re both perfectly crispy and cooked through. Once done, remove the wings and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.

Toss and serve.

  1. toss and serve Dump the crispy wings into the garlic Parmesan sauce and toss until they’re fully coated.

Notes

Serve them hot: Enjoy the wings right away while they’re still hot and crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside. It’s the best way to experience their full flavor and texture!

Adjust cooking time based on wing size: All wings are different sizes, so cooking times may vary. Keep an eye on the color—they should be a beautiful golden brown when done.

Crush the garlic for better flavor: Using a mortar to crush the garlic with salt into a smooth paste makes a huge difference. It creates a more even, mellow flavor and blends seamlessly into the sauce. Chopped garlic can leave you with uneven bits and a sharper taste.

Marinate the wings for extra flavor: If possible, let the wings sit with the seasonings for a couple of hours before cooking. This allows the flavors to penetrate the meat for a more delicious result.

Don’t overcook the garlic: Cooking garlic for too long can give it a bitter, rancid taste. That’s why I cook it just until fragrant (about 15–20 seconds) and then let the residual heat do the rest.

Double the sauce if you love it saucy: If you’re a fan of extra saucy wings, simply double the sauce portion. You can never have too much garlic Parmesan goodness!
