Ingredients
Scale
Protein:
- 2 pounds (907 grams) chicken wings
Seasoning:
- 1/2 cup (60 grams) all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
Cooking Oil:
- Vegetable oil, for frying
Instructions
- Prepare the seasoned flour coating by blending paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper in a spacious mixing vessel.
- Thoroughly dredge chicken wings in the spiced flour mixture, ensuring complete and even coverage.
- Preheat cooking oil to 375F in a deep fryer or expansive pot, maintaining a consistent temperature.
- Carefully submerge wings in hot oil, frying in controlled batches for 10-12 minutes until achieving a golden-brown exterior and ensuring internal doneness.
- Transfer fried wings onto absorbent paper towels to eliminate excess oil, allowing them to rest and drain.
- Select potatoes and immerse in generously salted water, boiling until fork-tender for approximately 15-20 minutes.
- Drain potatoes completely, then vigorously mash with milk, sour cream, and butter until achieving a silky, smooth consistency.
- Incorporate shredded cheddar cheese, crispy bacon fragments, and finely chopped green onions into mashed potatoes, seasoning with salt and pepper to enhance flavor profile.
- Warm vegetable oil in a substantial skillet over medium heat, creating a foundation for caramelization.
- Sauté onions until translucent and softened, approximately 3-4 minutes, then introduce minced garlic and cook briefly.
- Add shredded cabbage to the skillet, stirring intermittently and allowing natural caramelization for 10-15 minutes.
- Finish cabbage with caraway seeds, salt, and pepper, ensuring balanced seasoning throughout the dish.
Notes
- Optimize wing coating by letting coated wings rest for 10-15 minutes before frying, allowing flour to adhere better and create a crispier exterior.
- Enhance potato creaminess by warming milk and butter before mixing, preventing cold ingredients from making potatoes gluey.
- Control cabbage texture by not overcrowding the skillet, ensuring even caramelization and preventing steaming instead of frying.
- Accommodate dietary needs by using gluten-free flour for wings, turkey bacon for lower-fat option, and dairy-free alternatives in mashed potatoes for lactose-intolerant individuals.
