This is a recipe that I’ve created during the lockdown with whatever ingredients were available in my Refrigerator. My Bitter Better &I love Chicken Wings and when they are Sweet and Fiery Hot at the same time,it’s a Feast for us..I usually make Recheado(A Traditional Goan Spice Paste)Chicken Wings but this time I wanted to try out something different and quick.This recipe is more like a DIY(Do It Yourself) recipe where you can add your favourite sauces and spices to Toss up your favourite base for the Chicken Wings.Since I Created this out of whatever I found in my Kitchen, I decided to name the Dish ”Catch‘n’ Cook Chicken Wings”I’d love to hear from you once you give it a try
10-12 Spicy Green Chillies cut into slants(alter as per taste. We enjoy this really spicy)
½ Tspn Salt
½ Tspn Ginger Garlic Paste
2 Tbspn Oil
If your’re makingthis with Chicken strips or cubes (Since not everyone is a fan of Wings), we first fry the Boneless chicken cubes and all other steps remain the same
400 gms Boneless(Washed and Cut into cubes)
2 Tbspn Corn Flour
1.5 Tbspn All Purpose Flour
1 Egg
1 Tspn Ginger Garlic Paste
½ Tspn Soy Sauce
½ Tspn Red Chilly Sauce
1 Tspn Salt
Oil for Deep Frying
Instructions
Clean, thoroughly wash and cut the Wings into two and discard the edge of the wing
Transfer the Wings into a bowl and coat the wings with ½ Tspn Soy Sauce, Chilly Sauce, Salt and Ginger Garlic PasteNote: No need to marinate. Fry them immediately
In a Pan heat 1 Tbspn Oil and Fry the Chicken Wings for about 3-4 minutes on each side on High flame until it gets a slightly crispy coating and transfer them into a bowl and keep aside Note: Do Not Fully Fry the Wings as we will be further cooking the Wings laterSteps 2 and 3 are optional. If you’re running out of time,you can skip steps 2 & 3 and add the Chicken wings directly into the sauce later and allow it to cook
In the same Pan, heat 1 Tbspn Oil on Medium High heat
Once the Oil turns hot add the Chillies, Ginger and Garlic
Once the Garlic begins to turn brown, add all the Sauces and Spices except the Sesame Seeds and Spring Onions and mix it wellNote: At this stage, Do Not add salt if you’re following steps 2 & 3 as we’ve already added salt to the Wings. Also, most store-bought sauces have a high salt content in it, it is not necessary to add more salt. But you can add if you require
Reduce the heat a little and add the Wings into the Sauce and Mix it wellNote: If you’re going to skip step 2 & 3 you can cover the Pan at this stage so that the Wings get cooked. If you’re following step 2& 3 you can leave the Pan open and let the Chicken cook on medium heat for about 7-9 minutes on either side
Once the Chicken in cooked and coated with the Sauce, add the Sesame seeds and Spring onions
Mix it well and Toss it on High Heat until the Spring Onions are fully cooked
Turn off the Heat and Enjoy these Fiery, Hot, Sweet, Sticky Catch ‘n’ Cook Chicken Wings as a starter.
If you're going to make it with Chicken Strips or Cubes
In a skillet, heat oil on medium flame for deep frying
In a bowl, add all the ingredients mentioned under the Ingredients for the Batter Fried Chicken section and mix it well
Once the Oil turns Hot, add each coated chicken cube into the hot oil and fry the Chicken in batchesNote: Fry the Chicken in batches. If all the chicken is fried together there will be over crowding in the oil and the oil will not retain its heat and the batter will get separated from the ChickenIf the Oil is not too hot, the batter will be separated from the ChickenIf the Oil is too Hot, the Batter will turn brown and cook faster and the chicken will remain raw
Once the Chicken is Fried, drain off all the excess oil and transfer it on a Kitchen Napkin and keep aside
All other steps remain the same. Your Catch n Cook Chicken is Ready! I hope to see this on your menu at your First Party immediately after the Lockdown! Until then do give it a Try and Don’t forget to make it your own!Remember as I mentioned at the start This is a DIY recipe! ENJOY 😊
