Twice fried chicken wings

Sometimes I can stare at my fridge for ages and not get a single strand of inspiration to cook anything and sometimes I just feel inspired. Eating the chicken wings at Duck and Rice was very inspiring and I knew I had to try and make them.

When I came to the Black Pig Butchers there was a bag of chicken wings for two pounds, there was eight wings and I took it as a sign for me to actually make the chicken wings.

First of all I was intrigued as I have never thought of cutting the chicken wings lengthways. Just the middle part of the wings.

I didn’t ask them how the chicken wings were made but I had an idea that I thought I would try.

Heat the oil up and fry the chicken wings golden. Let them drain.

Before serving heat the oil up again and and fry the wings a second time to make them extra crispy. Serve with a dipping sauce.

Ingredients

• 1 dl or 1/2 cup rice wine vinegar
• 1 tbsp fish sauc
• 1 red chilli, sliced thinly with seeds in

Mix the ingredients and set stand for about 20 minutes for the flavours to mix. Use more or less chilli according to taste

 

 

I think if the chicken wings are marinated over night they will have even more taste but they were delicious and I will make them again Now I just need to think of whom to invite and try them on!

I am bringing a big plate over to Angie’s Fiesta Friday. If you have cooked, or need inspiration and ideas come and join us!
