Ingredients
16-24 Whole chicken wings
For the Spice Blend
3 Tsp Paprika
2 Tsp Onion salt
1 Tsp Dried sage
1 Tsp Garlic powder
1 Tsp Oregano
1 Tsp Cayenne pepper
1 Tsp Cracked black pepper
1 Tsp Dried basil
1 Tsp Dried marjoram
1 Tsp Dried coriander
For the Curing Brine
100g Dairy or Kosher salt (any non-iodated salt is fine)
1 Tsp Whole black peppercorns
1 Corn of whole allspice
12.5g Saltpetre
1 Tsp Ginger
50g Sugar
15g Bicarbonate of soda
1 Tbs Dried chilli flakes
Other
2 Cups all purpose flour
1 Tbs Cayenne pepper
4-6 eggs lightly beaten
Instructions
To start prepare the curing brine as we did in part 1 and part 2.
Remove and discard the wing tips from the wings and cut through the center joint. Place the wings in a sterilized container.
Sprinkle 1 tbs of crushed chilli flakes over the wings, then pour in the brine. Put the lid on the container and allow the chicken to cure for a full 12 hours in your refrigerator.
Combine the second half of the spices with flour and add 1 tbs of cayenne pepper, then sprinkle a layer of the seasoned flour over the surface of a large platter.
Lightly beat 4 eggs.
To coat the wings, first dredge them in the flour, then dip then in the egg.
Dredge them in the flour again to get a good solid coating. Transfer the wings to the floured platter and allow the coating to set for 20 minutes.
Fill your pan with oil to a depth of 25mm or 1 inch and heat this to 150c or 300f. Fry the wings for a full 20 minutes turning halfway through.
Remove the wings from the oil and drain on kitchen paper. Allow them to stand for 5 minutes before serving.
