Crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and bursting with garlic flavor—this Garlic Fried Chicken is the ultimate golden bite. With a savory marinade and a crispy three-flour coating, it’s a game-changer for any fried chicken fan.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Marinade:

1.5 lbs (700g) chicken wings

1 tsp salt

1 tsp sugar

1 tsp garlic powder

½ tsp onion powder

½ tsp white pepper powder

1 tbsp soy sauce

1 beaten egg

10 garlic cloves, cut into 23 pieces each

For the Batter:

½ cup all-purpose flour

¼ cup cornstarch

¼ cup potato starch

For Frying:

Neutral oil (vegetable or canola)

Frying temperature: 380°F (195°C) for first heating

Instructions

In a bowl, combine all marinade ingredients and toss chicken wings well. Let marinate for at least 2 hours or overnight for deeper flavor.

In another bowl, mix all-purpose flour, cornstarch, and potato starch for the batter.

Heat oil to 380°F (195°C).

Dredge each wing in the dry flour mixture, pressing to coat evenly.

Fry in batches for 5–6 minutes until golden and crispy. Let rest briefly, then double-fry at 400°F (205°C) for extra crunch.

Drain on paper towels and serve hot.
