Preparation
To wings turned juicy and soft after a very short heat treatment, they must be pre-soaked. To do this, in purified cold water we dissolve salt and fish sauce. Do not worry, the product absolutely will not smell of it from the fish, but on the quality of the original dish this sauce will have a very positive impact. We immerse the previously washed wings in the resulting solution and leave it for two or three hours.
During this time we prepare breading and dough. For the breading mixture, we combine in a suitable container wheat flour and the necessary amount of spices and herbs, based on the list of ingredients proposed for this from the list of ingredients. We are also preparing the wing sausage. We break eggs into the bowl, add a little table salt, ground the sweet paprika and whisk everything. Now pour in the milk and achieve a homogeneous texture of the mixture with the help of a whisk.
After a while, we take the wet wings out of the brine and dry it very carefully. Now
In the next step, we pour a thick-walled frying pan or sautéed refined vegetable oil and warm it up nicely. We take into account when determining the amount of oil that the wings should be deep-fried and fully immersed in it. Now we dip parts of the wings into the batter, pan it thoroughly then in a spicy dry mixture and hastily immerse it in boiling oil. After evenly browning the products from all sides, we spread them on a paper towel and let them soak in excess fat.
