Strips like in KFC are a hot snack for a large company. Hot wings (KFC)

Our city is too small for real food courts to be located in large shopping centers, only the city can boast of this, but we cannot find world-famous catering outlets here. Sometimes I happen to go shopping in big city and there, as a rule, everything is in order with cafes. And if I want to have a snack, then without hesitation I go to the end of the long line - wait for KFC wings, a whole basket. And even if they tell me now that it’s not healthy, fast food and KFC in general aren’t tasty, I won’t agree with you - it’s very tasty to me! Fragrant tender chicken meat in crispy flakes - these memories involuntarily make my stomach growl. I want, I want, I want! But the closest point to Abakan with this delicacy is in Krasnoyarsk and I manage to go there once a quarter, if not less often. Ehhhh... At least do it yourself!
It is clear that, according to legend, this magical chicken has a highly secret recipe and they say that the chefs even sign some kind of non-disclosure papers, and the ingredients are prepared at different enterprises and supplied to the catering kitchen in the form of semi-finished products, so even with all the desire You won’t be able to figure out the real recipe, even if you make a blatant penetration.
Well, then they revealed some cooking secrets to me, I checked it and was blown away - delicious!
THE SAME! The breading is different, but overall it’s very, very good!
Therefore, I simply have no right to remain silent, and besides, absolutely anyone can fry a whole mountain of such chicken wings!

I always thought that wings just needed to be breaded in special “crumbs” and branded spices and deep-fried. I tried everything, but either the inside of the chicken near the bones remained raw and tough, or the breading tended to char, I lowered the temperature of the fryer - the inside seemed fine, but the crispy crust was just oozing oil.
And the first secret turned out to be surprisingly simple - before you fry the chicken, you must first boil it!

1. To begin, we cut the chicken wings at the joints into 3 parts - forearm, shoulder and “hand”. Firstly, it is 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 deal with this “unnecessary” spare part in a humane way - spray lemon juice, add salt and pepper, some aromatic herbs and leave to marinate for half an hour, and then fry very, very hot in very hot oil - so that everything crunches on your teeth and is eaten without a trace. It's delicious, and for certain lovers it's a real delicacy!

2. Place the cut wings in salted water, put on the fire and bring to a boil. There are some tricks here too.
As soon as the water boils, skim off the foam and remove the pan from the heat. Now cool the wings completely in the broth to room temperature.
Do you think it's not cooked? Fuck there! I have never tasted more tender boiled chicken meat in my life! The fact is that such small pieces do not require long cooking, and in hot broth they themselves will reach the desired readiness.
By the way, this step can be done the night before the party, leaving the pan with wings in a cool place. Just don’t be surprised when the next day you find a real one in the pan. chicken jellied meat- wings contain a lot of gelling substances))

3. Next, prepare the remaining ingredients - flour, lezon and corn flakes.
I won’t say anything about flour - ordinary wheat flour.
Liezon is a beaten egg with salt and a small amount of water (you can do without it). If you just want the taste of chicken, don’t add anything else to the lezon; if you want some heat and piquancy, feel free to throw in garlic, hot pepper or a few drops of Tabasco, aromatic herbs - whatever your heart desires. Beat with a blender until smooth and you will be happy.

It is advisable to search for corn flakes on the supermarket shelf. The fact is that almost all of them are sold in sugar icing, why do we need sweet chicken? With a little persistence in the departments with healthy eating and products for diabetics you can find unsweetened cereals.
We crush them directly in the bag until they form small pieces and a convenient fraction.

We put all the ingredients next to each other, place a plate for preparations closer, and heat the frying oil on the stove.
The red in the plate is my lezon with garlic and Tabasco))

4. This is what we do with the chicken - first we dip it in flour, then we dip it in lezon, then we roll it in flakes. At this stage, let the piece dry a little - this way the flakes will stick tightly to the chicken skin and will not fall off during frying. We “dry” for 15-20 minutes, turning the wings over a couple of times.

5.Now let’s fry! Heat a saucepan or cauldron with oil to 180 degrees Celsius. Don't have a special thermometer? Use ordinary Chinese chopsticks - dip them in oil, if bubbles appear from the stick, then the desired temperature has been reached.
Place the wings in deep fat and fry for about 3 minutes. Don't try to put it in the pan maximum quantity wings - the temperature of the oil will drop sharply and you will have to fry longer and more oil will be absorbed. 5-6 pieces at a time is normal.

How to make hot wings like KFC

1. First, the wings should be washed and the water drained; then dry with a clean kitchen towel. The narrowest third of the wings is cut off with a knife, after which the wings are placed in a plastic bowl, sprinkled with a mixture of salt, ground paprika and black pepper. Cover the bowl and put it in the refrigerator for 20-30 minutes.

2. At this time, the batter is being prepared: milk, eggs and flour are beaten with a mixer until a homogeneous mass is obtained, to which salt, garlic powder, pepper and paprika are added. Prepare the breading by rolling the corn flakes with a rolling pin until coarse crumbs are obtained.

3. Sprinkle the wings evenly with cornmeal (thanks to this, the batter will cover the meat evenly and will not drip). The most convenient way is to roll the wings in flour, placing them together with the flour in a large bag, which you will have to shake until you get the result.

4. Deep frying is heated in a deep pan with thick walls and bottom. The temperature of the oil can be checked by dropping water into it - water will evaporate instantly from well-heated oil.

5. Dip the wings one at a time into the batter and then coat all sides in crushed corn flakes. Fry the wings for about six to seven minutes until golden brown; After frying, place on a wire rack or paper towels to drain excess fat. Serve immediately.

First, wash the wings thoroughly. Then we take cutting board, a sharp knife and cut each wing. We cut along the joint, making 3 parts from one wing. You don't have to use the tip; it's better to cook it separately.

We transfer our cut wings into a pan with cold water. We put it on the stove. Add salt to taste. Bring the wings to a boil, then skim off the foam. Turn it off as soon as it boils. They will cook in the hot broth on their own.

Break several eggs into a bowl. Add some water to them. Drizzle Tabasco sauce. It is very spicy, so calculate the proportion for yourself. Peel the garlic and chop finely. I'm going to add it to the eggs to grind it in a blender. You can grate it on a fine grater and beat the eggs with a mixer. Add red pepper to the mixture, just a little bit.

Let's start with the main cooking. Roll each piece of wing in flour, then dip in the beaten egg mixture. Finally, roll in lightly crushed corn flakes. Leave the wings on a plate to dry for 20 minutes.

Place a saucepan with vegetable oil on the fire and bring to a boil. If you have a deep fryer, use it. Carefully lower the chicken wings into the hot oil, one by one. Fry them for no more than 3 minutes, then take them out on napkins to absorb excess fat. Voila! The wings are ready! An exact copy of KFC!
