Fried Chicken Wings in Creamy White Sauce




Who in here doesn't love fried chicken?

I guess everybody loves fried chicken that was why most of the fast food restaurants do offer fried chicken in their menu as this recipe is very easy to cook, less expensive and “crispily” (yeah, I invented that word, haha) delicious.

Way back in history, it was said that fried chicken was introduced by Scottish immigrants to the United States where most other European immigrants to the country ate only baked chicken (Fontaine, 2010). In the Philippines, Max’s™ was the first restaurant to serve fried chicken in the country way back in its inception in the year 1945, after World War II. It is owned by Mr. Maximo Gimenez, a Stanford-educated teacher who started the business by just opening up a café to cater his American soldier friends. Over the years, Max’s restaurant popularity grew because of its tender-juicy and crispy chicken and currently has over 27 branches in the Philippines (Wikipedia).

Enough of the history class, let’s have a break from the ordinary chicken and try this recipe that I have in stall for you. Well, I could still remember reading this recipe from a book way back in my college years but sad to say I really forgot the title of the recipe book (I’m so sorry), but this doesn't stop me from sharing you this incredible recipe that I always cook whenever I crave not just for a crispy fried chicken but also for the special add-on, the creamy white sauce. I just made a slight twist from the original recipe since I added chili powder, used refrigerated margarine in herb and garlic instead of plain butter and chopped spring onions.

Try this recipe and don't hesitate to leave some comments below.

Till next time!

Author: Sedd Dacillo

Ingredients:

Chicken Wings
8 pcs. chicken wings
1 egg
1 tbsp ground black pepper
1 tsp chili powder
2 tsp salt
all purpose flour for breading
cooking oil for frying

White Sauce
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 med onion, minced
½ stick (50g) butter or refrigerated margarine (Herb & Garlic, Magnolia Daricreme)

1. Beat the egg, black pepper, salt and chili powder until well blended.
2.  Dip the wings one by one into the egg mixture then dredge with flour.
3. Remove excess flour from the chicken then deep fry in a heated frying pan over medium heat for about 10-15 minutes.
4. Wait until chicken turns into golden brown, remove from pan and place in a plate lined with paper towels to remove excess oil. Set aside.

For the sauce:
1. Melt butter in a sauce pan over medium heat then sauté garlic and onions until translucent.
2. Add flour into the mixture and toast for a minute.
3. Pour in water and allow it to boil.
4. Add in all-purpose cream and egg yolk while constantly stirring the mixture.
5. Season the mixture with salt and white pepper and continue stirring until the sauce thickens.
6. When the sauce is ready, remove from heat then add spring onions. This sauce is best served when hot.

Note: Depending on your preference you can actually add in the chicken wings into the sauce or just pour the sauce over the chicken like what I did.

Enjoy!
