01
Step 1
Toss the chicken wings in a big bowl with chili flakes, cumin, chili powder, black pepper, salt, garlic powder, chili sauce, soy sauce, and a splash of vinegar. Mix everything well so the wings are nicely coated. Cover the bowl and let them marinate for at least 30 minutes, or overnight if you have the time for extra flavor.

Step 2
Pour some all-purpose flour into another bowl. Take each wing and coat it in the flour, then dip it quickly into some cold water. Roll it in the flour one more time to get a nice, crispy coating. Give each wing a gentle shake to get rid of any extra flour.

Step 3
Heat up some oil in a deep pan over medium-high heat. Fry the wings in batches until they’re golden brown and crispy all over. When they’re done, drain them on paper towels to soak up the excess oil.

Why you’ll love it
These wings are crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. The bold spices create a perfect balance of heat and flavor. They are easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser at any gathering.
How to serve
Serve with celery sticks and a side of creamy ranch or blue cheese dressing. Pair with a cold beer or a tangy lemonade for a refreshing contrast. Add some crunchy coleslaw or a simple green salad to complete the meal.
Storage & leftovers
Store leftover wings in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer to keep them crispy. Avoid microwaving, as it can make the skin soggy.
