Ingredients

First Marinade:

• 500 g Chicken Wings with skin
• 250 ml Buttermilk 250ml Milk + 1 tbsp Lemon Juice
• 1 tsp Salt/Namak

Second Marinade:

• 1 tsp Salt
• 1 tsp Chilli Powder
• 1 tsp Paprika
• 1 tsp Chilli Flakes
• 1 tsp Garlic Powder
• 1 tsp Black Pepper

Batter:

• 150 g Plain Flour
• 200 ml Water

Instructions

• In a bowl, add the salt to the buttermilk and mix – if you do not have buttermilk then add 1 tbsp lemon juice/vinegar to whole fat milk and leave to sit for 5 minutes
• Add the chicken wings to the buttermilk and ensure that the wings are fully submerged then leave to soak in the buttermilk mixture for at least an hour
• In another bowl add the salt, chilli powder, paprika, chilli flakes, garlic powder and black pepper and combine together
• Remove the chicken wings from the buttermilk mixture and add to the spice mixture and coat the chicken wings evenly then set aside to marinate for 1 hour
• Make the flour batter by mixing together the plain flour and water
• Heat a pan with oil for deep frying until medium-hot ensuring that the oil is not too hot – to test this you can add a small ball of the batter into the pan, and it should rise with tiny bubbles surrounding it
• Dip the chicken wings into the batter and allow any excess to drip off then add into the pan - there should be tiny bubbles surrounding them – and deep fry at 180°C/350°F for 8-10 minutes flipping every few minutes until wings are browned – use a thermometer if you have one, if not fry at medium heat
• Your hot wings are ready!
