How to make chicken wings – Nigerian style

This chicken recipe will be simplified into three (3) processes to make it easy to follow. The first process will be on how to season your chicken properly.

How to season chicken -Nigerian style

Clean chicken wings properly in water while also removing any feathers still on it
Pour the cleaned chicken into your pot
Add 1 tablespoon curry powder, 1 tablespoon thyme, 1 teaspoon nutmeg, 2 bay leaves, 1/2 tablespoon salt and 1 seasoning cube.
Add 3 cups of water and mix well
Cook for 15 minutes on high heat to ensure that the chicken wings are properly cooked.
Take the pot off the cooker after 15 minutes
Separate the chicken wings from the chicken stock

For more context, in Yoruba language chicken stock is called omi-eran.

Always save the chicken stock because it has so much flavour and can be used to cook popular Nigerian rice dishes such as jollof rice, coconut rice and many more.

I should also inform you that chicken stock is an important ingredient in cooking soups like chicken egusi soup , Efo riro and a host of others.

Now that the chicken wings have been deliciously seasoned and boiled, it is time for the second process which is making fried chicken wings.

Fried Chicken Wings

Before I continue with this process, you should be informed that you will have to exercise a great degree of self discipline going forward.

Heat up enough vegetable oil in your frying pan
Arrange the boiled chicken wings in the hot oil
Nicely fry both sides to a light brown shade
Remove the fried chicken from the hot oil
Switch of the cooker because it is time to prepare the sauce.

If you like fried chicken like I do, I would advice that you hide the fried chicken wings immediately.

This is because you may end up eating it all before the sauce is ready.

Yes, this fried chicken is quite irresistible because it was seasoned and cooked properly.

Let’s quickly make the easy sauce that will elevate your chicken wings to the next level.
