These spicy crispy chicken wings are a delightful treat for any occasion, offering a perfect balance of heat and crunch.
Combine the chili powder, paprika, and garlic powder in a mixing bowl.
Mixing the spices thoroughly ensures even flavor distribution on the wings.
Place the chicken wings in the bowl and toss them with the spice mixture until evenly coated.
Tossing the wings well helps the spices adhere better for a more flavorful result.
Put the flour in a plastic bag. Add the spiced wings a few at a time, seal the bag, and shake to coat them with flour.
Shaking the wings in a bag is a quick and mess-free way to coat them evenly.
Heat oil in a frying pan to 350°F (175°C). Fry the wings in batches for 12-15 minutes until golden and cooked through.
Maintaining the oil temperature ensures the wings cook evenly and become crispy.
Remove the wings from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Draining the wings on paper towels helps remove excess oil for a less greasy result.
Serve the wings on a platter with celery ribs on the side.
Arrange the wings neatly for an appealing presentation.
