Step 1

Marinate the Chicken

Start by marinating the chicken wings in soy sauce.

Ensure the wings are well coated, and let them marinate for a minimum of 2 hours. For best results, marinate them overnight in the refrigerator.

Step 2

Prepare the Breading

In a mixing bowl, combine flour and cornstarch in a ratio of 80 to 20.

Mix thoroughly to create a uniform coating. This blend will help achieve that delicious crispy texture.

Step 3

Coat the Wings

After marinating, take each wing and coat it in the flour and cornstarch mixture. Make sure to cover all sides, then shake off any excess.

Preheat your oven to 200 degrees Celsius (400 degrees Fahrenheit) while coating the wings.

Step 4

Bake the Wings

Place the coated wings on a baking tray. Bake them for 30 to 45 minutes, or until you see a beautiful crispy golden-brown crust.

Keep an eye on them towards the end of cooking to ensure they don't burn.

Step 5

Serve with Sauce

Once baked, you can toss the wings in your favorite sauce or drizzle the sauce over them just before serving.

This adds extra flavor and makes for a fantastic presentation!

Faq

  • Can I use frozen wings for this recipe?

    Yes, you can use frozen wings! Just ensure they are fully thawed and patted dry before marinating to achieve the desired crispiness.

  • How can I make the wings even spicier?

    To kick up the heat, add some cayenne pepper or hot sauce to your marinade. You can also toss the wings in spicier sauces after baking to taste!

  • What type of oven should I use for best results?

    A conventional oven works best for crispy wings. Make sure to avoid using convection mode unless you’re monitoring closely, as it can overcook the wings.

  • Can I double the recipe for a larger crowd?

    Absolutely! Just make sure to spread the wings out on multiple baking sheets to prevent overcrowding, which can lead to soggy wings.

  • What's the secret to extra crispy wings?

    The key to extra crispy wings is to ensure they are dry before coating them. Marinating them in soy sauce adds flavor without moisture, and the corn starch flour mix helps create that crisp outer layer. To enhance the crunch, consider broiling the wings for the last 5 minutes of baking.

  • How do I store leftovers?

    Store any leftover crispy wings in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, bake in the oven to regain crispiness!
