Wings

Veggie Sticks

Sauce (optional)

Method

Preparing the Wings

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken Wings

    Rinse the chicken wings under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.

  2. 2

    Season the Wings

    In a large bowl, combine the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Add the chicken wings and toss until they are evenly coated with the seasoning.

  3. 3

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep fryer or large pot, heat the vegetable oil to 375°F (190°C).

  4. 4

    Fry the Wings

    Carefully add the seasoned chicken wings to the hot oil in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for about 8-10 minutes or until the wings are golden brown and cooked through.

  5. 5

    Drain the Wings

    Using a slotted spoon, remove the wings from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

Preparing the Veggie Sticks

  1. 6

    Cut the Veggies

    While the wings are frying, wash and cut the carrots, celery, and cucumber into sticks.

Serving the Wings

  1. 7

    Arrange and Serve

    Once the wings are drained and the veggie sticks are cut, arrange them on a platter. Serve the wings hot with your choice of sauce and the veggie sticks on the side.
