Chicken Wing Ingredients- 1 pack chicken wings
- Pinch of salt (approx. 1/2 tsp)
- Pinch of black pepper (approx. 1/4 tsp)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Rinse the 1 pack of chicken wings thoroughly under cold water and pat them dry. Place the chicken wings in a bowl and season them evenly with a pinch of salt and a pinch of black pepper. Marinating the wings like this in the refrigerator for 30 minutes will tenderize the meat and allow the seasoning to penetrate deeply, making them much more flavorful.
Step 2
You can directly pan-fry the marinated wings without any batter or complex sauces. Heat a frying pan over medium heat. Once the pan is sufficiently hot, place the seasoned chicken wings in a single layer, ensuring they don’t overlap. This step helps ensure all sides cook evenly and become crispy.
Step 3
After placing the chicken wings in the pan, immediately cover with a lid and cook over medium heat for 10 minutes. After 5 minutes, reduce the heat to low to prevent burning and allow the wings to cook through gently. Covering the pan traps the steam and heat released from the wings, which aids in cooking the interior until juicy.
Step 4
Here’s how the chicken wings look after 10 minutes of cooking. When you lift the lid, you’ll see the wings browning nicely, and delicious juices will have rendered, creating a tempting aroma. At this point, the surface of the wings should be sufficiently cooked and developing a appetizing color.
Step 5
Now, flip the chicken wings over and cover the pan with the lid again. Continue to cook over low heat for another 10 minutes. This step allows the other side to brown evenly. After 10 minutes, remove the lid and turn off the heat. Let the residual heat in the pan cook the wings for an additional 3 minutes. This final resting period ensures the exterior becomes extra crispy while the inside remains wonderfully juicy.
Step 6
Arrange the perfectly cooked chicken wings on a serving plate. Sprinkle a little extra black pepper on top for an enhanced aroma and flavor. These pan-fried chicken wings are the epitome of crispy outside, tender inside, and are absolutely delicious when enjoyed with a cold beer! They also make a fantastic snack for kids.
