I already tried to somehow cook the chicken wings as in KFC, it was tasty, but not quite ... and now, after many trial and error, I got this very recipe that will allow you if you don’t recreate the original recipe 100 percent, then at least get the result no worse than in the source, but maybe even better!

First, prepare the chicken. We will cut the wings over the joints, for the KFC recipe we will only need the first two phalanxes, we will not use the outermost ones (the ends of the wings), but we can then use them for the broth.

We figured out the chicken, now you can do the marinade. We will prepare all the products indicated in the ingredients for the marinade. I would also like to talk about water. The water in the marinade needs exactly enough to barely cover the chicken, so I recommend first to use 1.5 cup (300 ml.), And then, if there is not enough water, add as much as needed. Having received reviews about the “over-salinity” of the final dish, I decided to supplement the recipe with this remark: after receiving the salt brine, taste it, and if it seems too salted to you, add more cold water!

Step-by-step video recipe

Combine all the marinade ingredients in a bowl, mix it well.

We’ll rinse the sliced \u200b\u200bwings, throw them in a colander, and when all the excess water drains,

Let's send the chicken to the prepared marinade, well, and add cold water, if necessary, so that it is flush with the wings. Now we will marinate the wings in the marinade for 4 hours (I tried to marinate for 2 hours, it also turns out pretty good). By the way, I also noticed that if you hold the chicken for longer, it will be overloaded, but it will not become more aromatic! Therefore, I recommend not to overdo it.

While the bird is infused in brine, let's get a breading for our KFC wings. Hand on heart, I can say that I don’t know for sure what they put there, but my set of breading products indicated in the ingredients is guaranteed to get a very similar result! Therefore, we are preparing these very products,

Combine flour and spices in a deep bowl,

Very carefully mix the breading into a single homogeneous mass, and we can assume that the entire preparatory phase is completed. Now we need to wait for the marinating chicken wings,

after which you can put the frying pan to warm up, and proceed to the breading of the chicken. Now I tell you step by step how the wings are breaded. We transfer a batch of wings (8-10 pieces) from the marinade to a colander, let the excess marinade drain,

then put the meat in bread flour, and carefully roll the wings in the flour,

put the wings boned in flour back into the colander (it is advisable to rinse and dry it each time), shake it to remove excess flour,

after which we release our wings in cold water for 5-10 seconds (at this time we’re not jerking and shaking the colander!),

gently remove the wings from the water, let the water drain

after which we spread the wings back into the bread flour,

carefully roll the wings on all sides in breading.

Put the breaded chicken in a single layer into the fryer grate. If you plan to cook without a deep fat fryer, then just send the wings to the heated oil one at a time, shaking off excess flour from the surface.

So, the oil in the deep fat fryer has heated up to 170 degrees, we will send the wings to the deep fat fryer for exactly 10 minutes.

After the specified time, our sharp KFC wings are ready, they can be removed from boiling oil,

Everyone who visited KFC at least once wondered what was the recipe for making these unusually sharp hot wings. And for a long time it was believed that Colonel Sanders kept this recipe secret. In the history of fast food, this fact even got its name - "the secret of Colonel Sanders." This fact made the creator famous, and his restaurant chain is one of the most popular in the world. It is believed that the original recipe for sharp wings is unknown to this day, but there are many ways to prepare this gourmet dish, which are more or less similar to the original.

Components

For lovers of everything sharp, wings are an ideal option, which will bring a lot of pleasure. In this case, you should choose the most suitable and affordable recipe, because there are a huge number of them in the network, culinary textbooks and different dining rooms. Each person can independently choose the perfect combination of ingredients during cooking, taste buds to help, as they say. But there is a standard recipe, focusing on which you, thanks to your preferences and the ability to improvise, can make those very tasty wings. Perhaps you can find exactly that secret recipe for the dish.

Only 8 ingredients are included in the standard recipe.

• wings - 10 pcs.;
• eggs - 2 pcs.;
• milk - 300 ml .;
• flour - 5 tbsp. l .;
• chips - 150 gr.;
• ground black pepper - 2 tbsp. l .;
• ground red pepper - 1 tbsp. l .;
• chili - on the edge of a knife (if the sauce, then 2-3 drops).

Many use sugar-free cereal instead of chips, but chips are the easiest way to give wings extra flavor.

Who wants to add pungency - this will help using paprika, someone prefers ordinary potato without flavoring, and someone else will give a flight of fancy and something more extravagant or piquant, then you can use other unusual types of chips.

Recipe

In simple terms, KFC wings are breaded meat that can be spicy or plain. Depending on the choice of breading, the recipe for cooking and the proportion of ingredients used vary.

• Mix black and red ground peppers with flour in one container. Usually, about 5 tablespoons of flour is added about two tablespoons of seasoning, but here it all depends on personal preferences. If you want to be sharper, then you need to add more red pepper, if you want the taste to be softer, then black, but chili is always recommended to be used in a small amount, otherwise you can burn your mucous membrane and harm your stomach.
• In another container, we mix eggs and milk, usually spices are no longer added there, but you can throw a pinch of salt for taste.
• Pour chips into the third container or, if you want, cereal without sugar. Then it is good to crush them until crumbs are formed, for example, by a crush or by pre-crushing a packet of chips. However, the best assistant in this case is a blender, which will greatly simplify the task.
• To prepare the wings for the cooking process, it is necessary to rinse and dry them well. Then you should cut them into 3 parts in the area of \u200b\u200bthe joints, but do not forget that the smallest part is not needed - there is practically no meat, so you can use them as you like, at your own discretion. But the two remaining parts will be needed in the future.

• Roll in the flour with spices left parts of the wing, then transfer the resulting pieces into a bowl with egg and milk, then back to the first container. Once again, roll the pieces in flour and transfer them to the egg with milk, and after that roll them in crisp chips. We do this procedure with all the wings. You can hold it in each bowl once, but if you do it twice, then the batter is better saturated, and the taste of the dish after cooking will be more intense.
• There are two ways to fry chicken wings: fry in a pan, for which you need to generously pour slices of oil so that it is half covered under it, heat and fry the wings for 3-5 minutes on each side, or boil them. In the latter case, it is necessary to pour enough oil into the pan, wait until it is warmed up, and throw wings there.
• Thus, it is possible to obtain technology from CFS by simply welding the product in oil.
• We put the finished wings on a napkin so that it absorbs excess fat, and after some time (usually 10-20 minutes is enough), the dish can be served.

Often served chicken wings with various sauces, here is already to your taste. The sauce can be made either alone at home according to your favorite recipe, or just buy it. But the second way is more expensive, like buying wings in KFC.

Calorie content

To understand the need to refuse to go to KFC in favor of cooking homemade wings, you should understand in advance that this is still fast food, and such food is not the most wholesome. The use of sharp wings often leads to problems with the stomach or oral cavity, and one of the main negative points is the calorie content of the dish in question (Table 1).

Table 1. Calorie ingredients

It is worth noting that portions in KFC have a mass starting from 81 grams (3 wings). In this case, the calorific value per 100 grams of finished wings is 380 kcal. Based on these data, you can decide in advance whether you need another trip to KFC or whether you can cook everything at home, or maybe you should completely abandon the wings.

An important point after cooking hot chicken wings as in KFC is eating them hot.

In this case, they will still be resilient, juicy and will be able to remind you the taste of your favorite chicken from a fast food restaurant. After some time, the wings will become softer, wetter, and even warming up will not restore their former taste. This also happens with KFC wings, if left overnight or just consumed a few hours after preparation.   The main thing is to remember that you can eat deliciously not only at food courts or in restaurants, but also at home.  Delight yourself and loved ones with a variety of dishes and remember: the simpler, the tastier and healthier.

The recipe for cooking chicken wings, as in KFC, see the video below.

KFC (Kentucky Fried Chicken / Kentucky Fried Chicken from Kentucky) is the second largest fast food restaurant chain in the world, after McDonald's. A characteristic feature of KFC is its specialization in fried chicken dishes. Harland Sanders, before he founded the first restaurant, constantly suffered setbacks in business. He tried himself in various fields, but a tremendous success brought him an old recipe for fried chicken, which was passed down in his family from generation to generation. The secret of a truly delicious chicken dish lies not only in the special technology of breading and frying, but mainly in a special mixture of 11 spices. The recipe for this seasoning, along with the original Coca-Cola recipe, is one of the most protected trade secrets.

However, chicken wings like in KFC cafe  It’s quite possible to cook on your own, at home. To do this, you need simple and affordable ingredients:

Chicken wings - 1 kg;

Wheat flour - 0.5 cups;

Milk 2.5% fat - 150 ml;

Eggs - 2 pcs;

Cornmeal - 2 tbsp. spoons;

Vegetable oil for frying - 0.5 l;

Corn flakes (unsweetened, without additives) - 250 g;

Ground paprika - 10 g;

Chili pepper - 1 pc;

Cayenne pepper - on the tip of a knife;

Ground chili - on the tip of a knife;

Salt to taste.

Now the most important thing is to strictly follow the step-by-step instructions below.

Wings as in KFC recipe

1. Wings should be thoroughly rinsed under running water. Allow the water to drain, then dry the wings with towels. Armed with a sharp knife, cut off the thinnest part of the wings (there is practically no meat on it, and it can burn up when frying). Then the wings are placed in a deep bowl, evenly sprinkling them with a mixture of salt, paprika and crushed chili pepper (from which all seeds must first be extracted). Place the bowl with wings in the refrigerator for 1 hour.

2. During this time, you need to slightly knead the corn flakes with a rolling pin. The grinding process will become easier if the flakes are poured into a plastic bag, tied, and then rolled with a rolling pin. Do not get too carried away and grind the flakes into powder.

3. To prepare the batter in a bowl, thoroughly mix milk, eggs, wheat flour, chili and cayenne, salt. The batter should have the consistency of thin sour cream.

4. Pour cornmeal into a large plastic bag, put the wings, tie a bag and shake it until the flour covers each wing evenly. The same operation can be performed, instead of a bag, in a pan with a lid.

5. In a thick-walled pan, heat the oil. Each wing is lowered into batter, then crushed in chopped corn flakes and deep-fried until cooked (about 6-7 minutes). Spread the fried wings on paper napkins that absorb excess oil.

Chicken wings prepared according to this recipe are very similar to the brand served in KFC. Undoubtedly, your household and guests will be satisfied!

Our city is too small for real food courts to be located in large shopping centers, it can only boast of this, but we cannot find world-wide popular catering points. Sometimes I happen to go shopping in a big city and there, as a rule, everything is in order with cafes. And if I wanted to eat, then without hesitation I go to the end of a long line - wait for kfc wings, a whole basket. And let me now say that it’s not useful, fast food fu and generally kfc are not tasty, I don’t agree with you - I’m very tasty! Fragrant tender chicken meat in crisp flakes - from these memories my stomach involuntarily rumbles. Want Want want! But the point closest to Abakan with this delicacy is in Krasnoyarsk and I manage to go there once a quarter, if not less. Ehhhh ... At least do it yourself!
It’s clear that, according to legend, this magic chicken has a highly classified recipe and, they say, the chefs even sign some kind of non-disclosure papers, and the ingredients are prepared at different enterprises and delivered to the catering kitchen in the form of semi-finished products, so even with all the desire to solve the real recipe will not work, even if you make an impudent penetration.
  Well, here some secrets of cooking were revealed to me, I checked and ofigela - vkuuuuus!
  THAT IS THE MOST! The breading is different, but overall it is very, very good!
  Therefore, I simply do not have the right to remain silent, and besides, anyone can fry a whole mountain of such chicken wings!

I always thought that the wings just need to be breaded in special “breadcrumbs” and branded spices and deep-fried. I tried it for everyone, but either the chicken inside near the bones remained moist and stiff, or the breading tried to char, I lowered the deep-frying temperature - it seemed normal inside, but the crisp oozed butter.
  And the first secret was surprisingly simple - before you fry the chicken, you must first boil it!

1. For starters, we cut chicken wings along the joints into 3 parts - forearm, shoulder and “brush”. Firstly, it’s more convenient to work with such pieces; secondly, it’s easier to eat, and thirdly, the very last part of the wing is absolutely not needed for this dish.

You can do this “unnecessary” spare part in a humane way - sprinkle with lemon juice, add salt and pepper, some fragrant herbs and leave to marinate for half an hour, and then fry very, very hot in very hot oil so that it crunches and is eaten on your teeth all without a trace. It is delicious, and for certain lovers it is a real delicacy!

2. We put the divided wings in salted water, put on fire and bring to a boil. Here, too, have their own tricks.
  As soon as the water boils, remove the foam and remove the pan from the heat. Now, right in the broth, completely cool the wings to room temperature.
  Think not cooked? A fig there! I have never tasted more tender boiled chicken in my life! The fact is that such small pieces do not require long cooking, and in the hot broth they themselves will reach the desired readiness.
  By the way, this stage can be done on the eve of the party, leaving a saucepan with wings in a cool place. Just do not be surprised when the next day you find a real chicken jelly in the pan - there are a lot of gelling substances in the wings))

3. Next we prepare the rest of the ingredients - flour, lezon and corn flakes.
  I won’t say anything about flour - ordinary wheat flour.
  A lezon is a beaten egg with salt and a small amount of water (you can even without it). If you just want the taste of chicken - don’t add anything more during the season, you want spiciness and piquancy - feel free to throw garlic, hot pepper or a few drops of Tabasco, fragrant herbs - whatever your heart desires. Beat with a blender until a homogeneous structure and we will be happy for you.

It is advisable to search for corn flakes with addiction on a supermarket shelf. The fact is that almost all of them are sold in icing, but why do we need sweet chicken? With little persistence, unsweetened flakes can be found in departments with healthy diets and foods for diabetics.
  Mash them right in the bag to small pieces and a convenient fraction.

We make all the ingredients next to each other, put a plate for the billets closer, and heat the deep-frying oil on the stove.
  Red in a plate - this is my lezon with garlic and tabasco))

4. With chicken, do this: first dip it in flour, then dip it in the ice cream, then roll it in cereal. At this stage, let the piece dry a little - so the flakes will firmly stick to the chicken skin and will not fall off when frying. “Dry” for 15-20 minutes, turn the wings a couple of times.

5.And now we fry! We heat a pot or a cauldron with oil to 180 degrees Celsius. No special thermometer? Use ordinary Chinese sticks - dip them in oil, if bubbles come from the stick, then the desired temperature has been reached.
  Put the wings in deep fat and fry for about 3 minutes. Do not try to put the maximum number of wings into the pan - the oil temperature will drop sharply and it will take longer to fry and more oil will be absorbed. 5-6 pieces at a time - fine.

Fast food restaurants, as you know, do not bring benefits to our health. In addition, we cannot reliably know from which products our favorite dishes and snacks are prepared. Therefore, we suggest that you experiment in your own kitchen and cook sharp KFC wings. The recipe for this dish, of course, we can not fully recreate. However, we will try to make something similar, or maybe even much tastier.
