Extra Crispy Baked Chicken Wings
Main Ingredients: Chicken Wings, Baking Powder, Kosher Salt, Buffalo Wing
This recipe takes the traditional beer can chicken recipe and adds a crispy panko crust, resulting in an extra crunchy and delicious dish. Perfect for those who love a good crunch in their food.
Ingredients
Dough:
2 cups all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
2 eggs
1/2 cup sour cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
For frying:
Vegetable oil
For topping:
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, softened butter, sugar, eggs, sour cream, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix until a smooth dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour. If it's too dry, add a little more sour cream.
On a floured surface, roll out the dough to about 1/4 inch thickness. Use a knife or pizza cutter to cut the dough into rectangles, about 3x2 inches in size.
Make a small slit in the center of each rectangle and pull one end of the dough through it to create the "wings". Repeat with the rest of the dough.
In a deep pot or frying pan, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches a temperature of 375°F.
Carefully place the angel wings into the hot oil, a few at a time. Fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side, until they turn golden brown.
Remove the angel wings from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain off any excess oil.
In a small bowl, mix together the powdered sugar and ground cinnamon. Sprinkle this mixture over the warm angel wings.
Serve the Russian angel wings warm and enjoy!
