“These wings are a crowd-pleaser. Whether you're hosting friends or just spoiling your family, they’ll always be a hit,” says Chef Mohamud.
The recipe starts with a simple marinade, garlic powder, black pepper, salt, and a touch of soy sauce and paprika for depth and colour.

The wings are then dipped in flour, egg, and breadcrumbs, giving them that perfect crispiness we all love. Panko breadcrumbs are ideal, but regular ones will still do the job.
“The secret is in the coating. You want each wing to be well layered, first the flour, then the egg, and finally the crumbs. That’s how you lock in the juiciness while keeping the outside nice and crunchy,” he explains.
Depending on your kitchen setup, you can deep-fry the wings for that classic crunch, bake them in the oven for a healthier option, or pop them in the air fryer if you have one. The method may change, but the result remains delicious.

“It’s not just about the food; it’s about the experience. When you serve something this good at home, it brings people together,” he says.
Whether you are making it for your children, friends, or just treating yourself after a long day, these wings promise comfort, flavour, and a bit of kitchen magic.
This quick and satisfying recipe takes just 15 minutes to prepare and 25–30 minutes to cook, making it perfect for serving up a delicious meal for four without spending hours in the kitchen.
