Step
Method 1 of 1: Preparing the Chicken Wings to Be Processed
Step 1. Buy chicken wings to be processed
Provide 10-15 chicken wings for each main course or 5-7 chicken wings for appetizers. In this guide, 1 kg of chicken wings will make 4 servings. However, feel free to increase or decrease the portion to meet the wishes of your guests.
Step 2. Soften the chicken wings first
If you bought chicken wings frozen, soften them first. You can soften the chicken wings by refrigerating them overnight or by soaking them in a bowl of cold water for 4 hours.
Step 3. Cut the chicken wings to be processed
If the chicken wings are no longer frozen, cut the chicken wings at each joint using large scissors or a sharp kitchen knife. Cut into three parts. Cut off the tip of the wing.
- Make sure you process it clean. When you process raw chicken, you must process it clean. Wash your hands after processing the meat. Wash knives and cookware thoroughly after use to avoid contamination. Do not allow a product (or any other type of food) to touch raw chicken or utensils that have been exposed to raw meat.
- Also, you can use unused chicken wing tips to make chicken stock.
Step 4. (Optional) Season the chicken wings and let it sit for a while for the flavors to infuse
This step is actually optional, but most people like the extra flavor that comes from the spices soaking into the meat. Commonly used seasonings are “honey and garlic sauce” or “hot sauce”. In addition, you can also choose other spices. If you prefer to season your chicken wings and let them sit for a while, you can do the following: place the chicken wings in a bowl and season the entire surface of the chicken wings or marinate the chicken wings in the seasoning of your choice. Leave the marinated chicken wings for 1-2 hours in the refrigerator.
