Ingredients for Garlic Butter Chicken Wings
Here’s a quick look at what you’ll need:
- Chicken wings – fresh and cut into sections.
- Garlic – finely minced for bold flavor.
- Butter – use unsalted to control the saltiness.
- Honey – balances the savory with just the right sweetness.
- Egg and flour – help create that perfect crispy coating before frying.
Cooking Tips
Marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes to enhance flavor.
After marinating, add egg and coat the wings with flour for that extra crisp.
Use medium-high heat when frying — too low and they absorb oil, too high and they’ll burn before cooking inside.
When making the glaze, use low heat to avoid burning the garlic or over-reducing the honey.
Frying can be easy if you follow the right steps. For helpful tips—like choosing the best oil, maintaining oil at 350–375°F, and avoiding common frying mistakes—check out this guide from Simply Recipes: How to Deep Fry Safely at Home simplyrecipes.com
