2 lbs chicken wings rinsed under cool water
2 tablespoon garlic puree or paste
1 tablespoon adobo found in the Latin aisle
½ tablespoon lemon pepper
1 teaspoon paprika
2 cups vegetable oil for frying

Mayoketchup (Optional)

3 tablespoon mayonnaise
1 tablespoon ketchup
1 clove garlic grated or finely minced, can also use ½-1 teaspoon garlic puree or paste

¾ cup mayonnaise
3 cloves garlic finely minced

Instructions

Add rinsed chicken wings to a large bowl and add the garlic puree, adobo, lemon pepper and paprika.
Using your hands or a large spoon combine all the ingredients well into the chicken.
Heat 2 cups of oil over medium-high heat in a large skillet or medium-size saucepan until oil is heated through. The oil will heat up in about 3 to 4 minutes. CAREFULLY add a few wings at a time to the oil.
Cook for about 8-10 minutes or until golden brown on one side. Flip the wings over and continue cooking until golden-grown.
Drain on a plate lined with paper towels. Serve with your favorite dipping sauce.

Mayoketchup (Optional)

Mix all the ingredients well in a small bowl and serve.

Creamy Garlic Aioli (Optional)

Mix all the ingredients well in a small bowl, cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes before serving.

Notes

Recipe Notes:

Seasoning: If you cannot find Adobo Seasoning in your local supermarket, use an all-purpose seasoning blend or simply salt and pepper.

Oil: For the best crispy wings, always use fresh oil when frying.
