Ingredients
For the Chicken Wings
- 750 grams Chicken Wings
- 1 Tbsp Cooking Oil
- 3 Tbsp Chopped Garlic
- 2 Tbsp Chopped Green Chilies
- 4 Tsp Lemon Juice
- 1 Tsp Crushed Dried Red Chili
- ½ Tsp Crushed Black Pepper
- ½ Tsp Kashmiri Red Chili Powder
- 1 Tsp Ginger Garlic Paste
- ½ Tsp Salt
- 2 Tsp Cornflour
For the Sauce
- 2–3 Tbsp Cooking Oil
- ½ Cup Water
- 1 Tbsp Dark Soy Sauce
- 1 Tbsp Tomato Sauce
- 1 Tbsp Red Chili Sauce
- 1 Tsp Cornflour (for slurry)
For Garnish
- 1 Tbsp White Sesame Seeds
- Chopped Coriander Leaves
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Prepare the Chicken
Start by washing and patting the chicken wings dry. Removing excess moisture helps them crisp better during cooking.
In a mixing bowl, combine the wings with:
- Lemon juice
- Crushed red chili
- Black pepper
- Kashmiri red chili powder
- Ginger garlic paste
- Salt
- Cornflour
Mix everything well so the wings are evenly coated. Let the chicken marinate for 15–20 minutes to absorb the flavors.
2. Cook the Wings
Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the marinated chicken wings and cook them until they become golden brown and slightly crispy.
Cook for about 10–12 minutes, turning occasionally so they cook evenly on all sides.
Once cooked, remove them from the pan and set aside.
3. Prepare the Flavorful Sauce
In the same pan, add 2–3 tablespoons of cooking oil.
Now sauté:
- Chopped garlic
- Chopped green chilies
Cook until fragrant and lightly golden.
Next, add:
- Water
- Dark soy sauce
- Tomato sauce
- Red chili sauce
Stir well and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
4. Thicken the Sauce
Mix 1 teaspoon cornflour with a little water to create a slurry.
Pour it into the sauce while stirring continuously. This will thicken the sauce and give it a glossy texture.
Let it cook for 1–2 minutes until slightly thick.
5. Toss the Wings
Add the cooked chicken wings back into the pan. Toss them well so each wing is coated in the rich, flavorful sauce.
Cook for another 2–3 minutes so the wings absorb the sauce.
6. Garnish and Serve
Finally, sprinkle:
- White sesame seeds
- Fresh chopped coriander leaves
Serve hot and enjoy the crispy, juicy goodness.
Tips for Perfect Crispy Chicken Wings
✔ Pat the chicken dry before marinating for better crispiness.
✔ Don’t overcrowd the pan when cooking the wings.
✔ Use Kashmiri chili powder for color without too much heat.
✔ Toss the wings in sauce only at the end to keep them crispy.
