~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



The Spicy Fried Crispy Chicken wings is very popular among Asian community throughout Europe, it's popular to the local people too.

Ingredients

3 pounds frying chicken pieces (with skin)
2 to 2-1/2 cups Crisco (or other vegetable shortening)
1 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon white pepper
1 teaspoon sweet paprika
1/2 teaspoon poultry seasoning
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 egg, lightly beaten
1/2 cup buttermilk/milk

How To Cook

Wash and rinse the chicken pieces and drain. At least 3 hours (and up to 12 hours) before frying your chicken, combine the buttermilk with half the salt and pepper. Pour mixture over chicken pieces, turn all pieces to coat well, and refrigerate.

Combine the flour, salt, pepper and cayenne pepper. You can experiment to create your own favorite spice blend. Set aside. Combine the egg and milk in a separate dish. Set aside.

Working with one or two pieces at a time, flour the chicken, shaking to remove excess, then coat with the milk/egg mixture, then dredge again in the flour mixture, coating well. Place pieces in a single layer on a piece of waxed paper until all are coated. Add to skillet and cook using either frying method.

When the melted shortening reaches a temperature of 360°F on a frying thermometer, carefully add the chicken pieces, skin side down, starting with the dark meat in the center of the skillet. Reduce the heat to medium-high, and cover loosely. Cook for 15 minutes or until chicken is dark golden.
Lower heat to medium and remove cover. Turn the pieces over carefully and cook, uncovered, for another 15 minutes.

Remove chicken pieces, and drain on paper towels.
