The Best fried chicken wings

Hello, September bugs. Are you ready for some tasty Fried Chicken Wings?

I have been working hard these days especially after reviewing several recipe requests.

So, I have decided to make videos. Stay tuned for upcoming recipes because you’re going to love them.

With Fall weather already approaching, and football season is here, I thought to share my ultimate comfort finger food, FRIED CHICKEN WINGS.

As much as I really love hearty soups during this time, sometimes a girl gotta have some soul food, right?

Well, I do have kind of a love-hate relationship with fried food. I am aware whatcha gonna say: “Sandra, you’re posting the healthiest smoothies, then heading in the whole different direction!?”

To be honest, we got to indulge sometimes with something like this, plus mashed potatoes, gravy, and collard greens. I mean, who can say NO to that? Not ME, that’s for sure.

Fried Chicken Wings

Anyhow, let’s talk about Fried Chicken Wings. The coating is light, but the skin is incredibly crisp, overall lightly seasoned with just a little kick from chilli powder.

The meat is juicy and tender. Only question remaining, who wants some?

Jokes on the side, it is DA BEST chicken wings that I have made.

1. Delicious. ✓ 2. Addictive. ✓ 3. Crispy. ✓ 4. Juicy ✓- And did I say DELICIOUS? ✓✓✓ Oh, yes!

Fried Chicken Wings

Recipe

Delicious fried chicken recipe.

Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 20 minutes
Total Time 30 minutes

Ingredients

  • 20 chicken wings approx. 3.5 lbs., family pack.
  • 1 1/2 cup/s Cornstarch
  • Peanut Oil or any other with a higher smoking point. For the regular DEEP pan/pot w/ a lid, use between 48-72 FL OZ (1.4L-2.1L) -ALSO it depends on the size of your fryer.

MARINADE:

  • 1/4 chopped Onion OR 1 tbsp. Onion powder.
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon Chili powder
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 tbsp. Oil

Instructions

  1. Using a sharp knife, separate carefully the wings at the joint. Remove the toe of the wing and Wash the wings under cold water, as well as the board and knife. You can cut the tips of the wings and discard if you wish. A safe cooking internal temperature for chicken wings is 165°F
  2. In a large mixing bowl, add the ingredients for the marinade. Mix everything to combine. Add chicken wings, and mix, massage, and get all the wings coated with the seasoning.
  3. In another clean bowl, add about 1 1/2 cup of cornstarch. Dip each chicken wing/piece into the cornstarch, shake a bit, then place on the plate. Discard the cornstarch after you are done!!!
  4. Preheat your oil to 375F (190C). And fry in batches. Deep fry the wings until about 90% cooked, about 10 minutes. Drain oil using a wire basket or a wire rack for a few minutes, then drop the wings for the second time, and deep fry it until the wings are crispy, approx. 3-5 more min. The wings should be deep golden brown. Drain oil again in a wire basket or a wire rack for a few minutes before digging in.
  5. Serve immediately!

Notes

You can use Deeper pot/pan with a fitted lid. If you use the lid, the temp., of the oil will not cool as easy, and the chicken will cook faster. Oil: Use any oil with a higher smoking point such as Peanut oil, coconut and olive oil. I used before corn and canola oil and it burns faster,

Use air fryer but results might wary.

The Ultimate Cheese Steak Wrap: A Delicious Twist on a Classic Favorite!

The Ultimate Cheese Steak Wrap: A Delicious Twist on a Classic Favorite!

The Ultimate Cheese Steak Wrap

If you’re a fan of Philly cheese steaks but looking for a simpler, lighter version, this Cheese Steak Wrap is a game changer. It’s melt-in-your-mouth delicious, super easy to make, and brings all the flavors you love with a few healthier tweaks. My family loves it, and I think you will too!

While this recipe isn’t a traditional Philly cheese steak, it hits the spot! I chose to wrap it up in a spinach tortilla for extra greens, but you can make it your own with a variety of options.

The Ultimate Cheese Steak Wrap

Why You’ll Love This Cheese Steak Wrap

  • Healthier Take: Using a wrap instead of a hefty roll lightens things up, making it a great choice for a balanced meal. You can use low-carb or any tortilla/wrap you prefer.
  • Easy & Quick: With store-bought, thinly sliced steak and a few simple ingredients, you can have this meal ready in no time.
  • Customizable: Swap out ingredients to make it perfect for your taste.

Ingredients You’ll Need:

Steak: 1 pound of thinly sliced beef, which is available pre-packed at most stores.

Cheeses: I used 1 cup of shredded mozzarella and 4 slices of thick American cheese for that gooey, cheesy goodness.

Veggies: 1 large green bell pepper, 1 medium yellow onion, and 1 cup of mushrooms – the “magical trio” for flavor!

Wraps: 4 large spinach tortillas for a hint of green and added fiber, but you can use any.

Optional Additions: Butter lettuce, light mayo, a drizzle of your favorite dressings, and tomato slices for extra freshness.

The Ultimate Cheese Steak Wrap

Step-By-Step Directions:

Marinate and Sear the Steak

Start by marinating your thinly sliced steak. I used simple ingredients. You can most definitely marinate overnight, but 30 minutes in the fridge is enough.  Then throw the steak on a hot non-stick pan with a touch of oil. The meat comes out tender and bursting with flavor. Full recipe below.

Cook the Veggies Separately

I sautéed the mushrooms, onions, and green peppers in another pan – a separate process because, well, the boys tend to pick things out. But I would suggest keeping the veggies separately let everyone customize their wrap.

Assemble the Wrap

I evenly and thinly spread a bit of light mayo on the tortilla, then add some butter lettuce. Once the steak is cooked, layer it in your wrap, add your cheeses, and let them melt into the steak. Add in your cooked veggies, if you like. About half a sliced tomato in each wrap for that fresh crunch, and finally drizzle dome dressing such as ranch.

Wrap and Enjoy

Fold up the sides if you like, roll tightly, and your cheese steak wrap is ready to enjoy. Serve it warm and let the flavors speak for themselves!

The Ultimate Cheese Steak Wrap

Tips:

Wrap or Bread? Do you prefer a classic sub feel? Go with a French or Italian roll. If you like wraps, try spinach like me, or perhaps a low-carb tortilla, which we use most of the time.

Cheese Choices: While I used mozzarella and American cheese, provolone is a fantastic, truly a classic option. Feel free to experiment!

Add Some Greens: Butter or Boston lettuce brings a nice crisp, and spinach is always a great option for extra nutrients.

Why This Wrap is a Winner?

Wraps and sandwiches are so versatile! You can easily tweak this recipe to fit your family’s preferences – whether it’s adding extra veggies, skipping the cheese for a lighter bite, or loading up with sauces. This cheese steak wrap has become a family favorite, and I love how easy it is to adapt to everyone’s tastes.

Serve & Savor!

With this easy Cheese Steak Wrap recipe, you get all the flavor of a Philly cheese steak in a more convenient, slightly healthier form. Whether you’re enjoying it for lunch or dinner, it’s bound to become a go-to in your household.

step by step cheese steak instructions

If you’re a fan of Philly cheese steaks but looking for a simpler, lighter version, this Cheese Steak Wrap is a game changer. It’s melt-in-your-mouth delicious, super easy to make, and brings all the flavors you love with a few healthier tweaks.

Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 10 minutes
Additional Marinade Time 30 minutes
Total Time 50 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 pound of thinly sliced/shaved beef, such as ribeye. There is also pre-packed at most stores.
  • 1 cup of shredded mozzarella
  • 4 slices of thick American cheese
  • 1 large green bell peppers, sliced
  • 1 medium yellow onions, sliced
  • 1 cup of mushrooms, quartered
  • 4 large spinach tortillas or any on hand

Optional Additions:

  • Butter lettuce, light mayo, a drizzle of favorite dressings, and tomato slices.

Steak Marinade:

  • 1 tablespoon vinegar
  • 
1/4 tablespoon sugar
  • 
3 garlic cloves crushed
  • 1/2 onion, sliced
  • 2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 cups of water
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce

Instructions

Marinate the Steak

  1. Start by marinating your thinly sliced steak. I used simple ingredients. You can most definitely marinate overnight, but 30 minutes in the fridge is enough.
  2. The meat comes out tender and bursting with flavor.

Cook the Veggies Separately

  1. I sautéed the mushrooms, onions, and green peppers in another pan – a separate process.
  2. While vegetables are cooking, heat up a large skillet, and using a fork or kitchen thongs pull the meat out of the marinade and toss on the hot skillet, keeping a temperature at medium-high heat. I like adding a splash of water just at the very end cover and letting it steam up. TIP: You could use a spatula and separate meat in a skillet into 4 equal portions, then add cheese to each portion and cover. That way while you prep wraps, cheese will melt and all you need is to scoop it with the spatula and add it to the wrap.

Assemble the Wrap

  1. Evenly and thinly spread a bit of light mayo on the tortilla, then add some butter lettuce.
  2. Layer the steak in your wrap, add your cheese (unless you already added it in the skillet), and let the cheese melt into the steak.
  3. Add in your cooked veggies, about half a sliced tomato in each wrap for that fresh crunch, and finally, drizzle dome dressing such as ranch.

Wrap and Enjoy

  1. Fold up the sides if you like, roll tightly, and your cheese steak wrap is ready to enjoy. Serve it warm!

Notes

If you do not eat beef, you can use shaved of thinly sliced chicken.
