Crispy Chicken Wings à la KFC (No Breading)

Crispy Chicken Wings à la KFC (No Breading)

Ingredients (for approx. 1 kg of wings):

• 1 kg chicken wings

• 1.5 tsp baking powder

• 2 tsp chicken seasoning

• 1 tsp sweet paprika

• 1 tsp salt

• 0.5 tsp black pepper

Additionally: 1 large sandwich bag or zip-lock bag

Preparation:

1. Prepare the wings
Wash and pat the wings dry with a paper towel.
Then cut each wing at the joint into smaller parts – drumettes and wingettes.

2. Seasoning in a bag
Mix all the spices and baking powder in a small bowl.
Place the wings in the bag, pour in the spice mix, and shake well until evenly coated.

If some wings are not fully coated, feel free to add a bit more of the spice mix or quickly prepare some extra and toss it in. Mix well – and you’re good to go!

3. Baking
Place the wings on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
Bake at 220°C (top and bottom heat) for 30 minutes, flipping the wings after 15 minutes.

4. Resting
After removing from the oven, let the wings rest for 10 minutes – this helps the skin become even crispier.
