How to prepare crispy wings?

To prepare crispy wings, you will need: 1.4 kg of chicken wings, 470 ml of Greek yoghurt, 340 g of cornflakes, granulated garlic, sweet paprika, ground chilli, and salt.

How to prepare the marinade for the wings? The marinade is the key to a distinctive meat flavour. Start by combining yoghurt with spices. Garlic, paprika, and chilli will give the meat a deep aroma. It's important to mix the ingredients thoroughly.

After preparing the mixture, immerse the wings in the marinade, ensuring each piece is thoroughly coated. Then, cover the bowl with cling film and place it in the fridge. The longer the wings marinate, the better — leaving them for at least an hour is recommended, but the best results are achieved by marinating overnight.

How to make the coating for the wings? Use cornflakes for preparation. Before frying, coat the marinated wings thoroughly in crushed flakes.

How to fry chicken wings? Traditionally, they are fried in deep oil, which guarantees crispiness. Heat the oil in a deep pan to about 175 degrees Celsius and fry the wings in batches. This ensures the chicken pieces don't stick together.

Another method is baking the wings in the oven. How to do it? Place the wings on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake at 175°C for 30-40 minutes until they are golden brown.

When preparing the wings, you can experiment with different spices and herbs. Spicy paprika, thyme, rosemary, or oregano are tasty additions that enhance the meat's flavour.

What to serve wings with? They pair perfectly with chips, roasted potatoes, or fresh vegetables. They also go well with various sauces, such as barbecue, garlic, or sweet and sour sauce.
