Spicy Fried Wings

Chicken wings and frying? I don't know about you, I must admit wings are my fav. All time fav. Nevermind if wings are sinful (Grilled Chicken Wings) Fats and skin within this part of the chicken? I know. Still, I can't simply resist. I need my fix of wings every now and then. Moreover, this frying matter to cooking? You tell me (Cauliflower Fritters, Mushroom Rolls, Crispy Fried Okra & Kerala Fish Fry)? Shall we not speak about frying matter anymore? I think we shouldn't. Much has already been said in my previous recipes (Fried Shrimp Wantons & Tuna Cutlets)? Unless of course you are one of those who are really health conscious, perhaps grilling or baking will be perfection for healthiness for you (Grilled Salmon, Grilled Spicy Prawns, Baked Cornflakes Chicken, Curried Roast Chicken & Spicy Grilled Fish). So anyway, what's with these Spicy Chicken Wings? Wings marinated in herbs and chillies paste, cornflour and rice flour,  and obviously, fried to utmost crispy crunchy skin and tender meat inside. Bye my darlings!!

Ingredients
3 chicken wings - halve at the joints
1 tbsp chilli powder (or as needed)
1 tsp corn flour
1 tsp rice flour
Salt to taste
Oil for frying

To blend/ground for a thick paste
4 shallots
1 inch fresh turmeric/kunyit (or turmeric powder)
1 lemon grass
2 red chillies 

Method:
Marinate wings with the blended paste and the rest of the ingredients except oil.
Gently poke wings all over with a fork so that the marination will sip through.  
Marinate for at least 4 hours. 
(note; will be good to place wings in the fridge to keep fresh)
Bring out and deep fry.
Drain off excess oil and serve with sour cream/yoghurt (optional) while still piping hot.

  18. I love baked chicken wings especially the slightly charred / caramelized parts. Doubling the spice and adding lemon grass are both fantastic idea Nava! :)
