Ingredients
Wet Batter:
- Goya Sazón seasoning
- Mustard
- Red pepper flakes
- Adobo all-purpose seasoning
- 2 eggs (or egg powder equivalent)
Dry Batter:
- Cornstarch
- All-purpose flour
- Garlic powder
- Goya Sazón
- Paprika
Additional:
- Chicken wings (washed and patted dry)
- Vegetable oil (for frying)
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Prepare the Wet Batter
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together:
- 2 eggs (or egg powder + water)
- A good squeeze of mustard
- A generous shake of red pepper flakes
- Goya Sazón
- Adobo seasoning
- Mix until smooth. Add the cleaned chicken wings into the bowl and toss to coat.
- Let them marinate for 15–30 minutes for best flavor.
2. Mix the Dry Batter
- In a separate bowl or tray, combine:
- Equal parts cornstarch and all-purpose flour
- Garlic powder
- Paprika
- Goya Sazón
- Mix until the seasonings are evenly distributed.
3. Coat the Wings
- Remove each wing from the wet batter and dredge it in the dry batter.
- Press gently to ensure the coating sticks well.
- Set the coated wings on a wire rack or tray to rest for 5–10 minutes before frying. This helps the crust develop.
4. Fry the Chicken
- Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan or fryer to 350°F (175°C).
- Carefully place wings in batches into the hot oil—do not overcrowd.
- Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 8–10 minutes per batch depending on wing size.
- Transfer to a paper towel-lined tray to drain excess oil.
5. Serve Hot
- Serve immediately while crispy, with your favorite hot sauce or dipping options.
Pro Tips and Serving Suggestions
- Rest the wings after dredging for max crispiness—don’t skip that step!
- Want extra spicy? Add cayenne pepper to the dry mix or toss finished wings in a spicy sauce.
- Pair with ranch, honey mustard, or a side of sweet chili for contrast.
- These wings go great with fries, cornbread, or creamy coleslaw on the side.
- For a flavor boost, add a splash of pickle juice or lemon juice to the wet batter.
