Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 12 pieces chicken wings
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
For the Marinade
- 5 tablespoons oil For marinating
- 1 cup chopped cilantro
- 2 pieces lemons Juiced
- 1 cup chopped parsley
For Frying
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 pieces scrambled eggs Beaten for egg wash
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Bread crumbs For coating
- Frying oil For frying
Instructions
Preparation
- In a bowl, mix together the chopped cilantro, parsley, salt, black pepper, paprika, cumin, minced garlic, oil, and the juice of 2 lemons to create the marinade.
- Rinse the chicken wings thoroughly and then place them in a bowl. Pour the prepared marinade over the wings and ensure they are well-coated. Marinate the wings in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
Coating
- In a separate bowl, beat the eggs to create an egg wash.
- On a plate, spread out a layer of breadcrumbs. You’ll use this to coat the wings before frying.
- Take each marinated chicken wing and dip it in the beaten egg, ensuring it’s fully coated.
- Afterward, roll the wing in the breadcrumbs to create a crispy outer layer.
Cooking
- Heat frying oil in a deep frying pan until it’s hot and ready for frying. You can check the temperature by dropping a small piece of bread into the oil – it should sizzle and turn golden brown.
- Carefully place the coated chicken wings in the hot oil and fry them until they’re golden and crispy, about 10-12 minutes.
Serving
- Once the wings are cooked to perfection, remove them from the oil and place them on paper towels to drain any excess oil.
- Serve your honey, lemon, and pepper fried chicken wings hot, paired with a fresh salad or vegetable gratin.
Notes
These chicken wings are perfect for gatherings, game nights, or simply as a mouthwatering indulgence. Enjoy!
