Ingredients

• Chicken wings: 500 g
• Vegetable oil: 0.5 l
• Wheat flour: 2 glass
• Chicken egg: 1 pc
• Milk: 0.5 glass
• Ground cayenne pepper: 2 tsp
• Salt: to taste
• Ground pepper mix: 2 tbsp

Cooking steps

1. We take a pot, crack an egg into it, pour half a glass of milk, add one teaspoon of salt, one teaspoon of cayenne pepper, and one tablespoon of paprika. We mix everything with a mixer.

   Required ingredients:

   • Chicken egg: 1 piece
   • Milk: 0.5 glass
   • Salt:  to taste
   • Ground cayenne pepper: 2 teaspoons
   • Ground pepper mix: 2 tablespoons

2. Add about half a cup of flour to the liquid mixture. Again, mix everything with a mixer. The amount of flour should be such that the consistency resembles either thick kefir or liquid sour cream.

   Required ingredients:

   • Wheat flour: 2 glasss

3. We cut the wings into pieces: divide them into 3 parts. We set aside the outermost part (with the sharp end), we don't need it.

4. The remaining parts are sent to the pot with the liquid from point 2.

   Required ingredients:

   • Chicken wings: 500 g

5. We take a sealed polyethylene bag, add the remaining one and a half cups of flour, then add the remaining tablespoon of paprika and teaspoon of cayenne pepper. We pinch the neck of the bag and shake it to mix the spices with the flour.

   Required ingredients:

   • Wheat flour: 2 glasss
   • Ground pepper mix: 2 tablespoons
   • Ground cayenne pepper: 2 teaspoons

6. Pour oil into a deep pan/pot and heat it up.

   Required ingredients:

   • Vegetable oil: 0.5 l

7. While the oil heats up, take 5-6 pieces of chicken from the pot, put them in a bag and shake. The flour sticks to the chicken and creates a coating.

8. Take out from the bag and put in the pan. While one portion is frying, add the next portion to the flour bag. And so on like a conveyor. No need to fry for long. A light golden crust is enough.
