Why Garlic Wings Are a Game Changer

These wings are different from your usual stew-style recipes. Instead of being soft and soaked in sauce, this version gives us that perfect balance—crispy edges, juicy meat, and loads of bold garlic flavor. They're stir-fried to golden perfection, with just the right hit of savory sauce and a touch of sweetness.

And guess what? You don't need a fancy oven or deep fryer. Just your stove and a frying pan will do the trick!

Let's Gather What We Need

Here's everything you'll need for this recipe—simple pantry staples with big flavor:

• Chicken wings – 6 pieces

• Minced garlic – 1 big spoon

• Soy sauce – 1 spoon

• Oyster sauce – 1 spoon

• Ground black pepper – 1 spoon

• Salt – to taste

• Sugar – half a spoon

• Green and red peppers – as much as you like (for color and mild heat)

• Cooking oil – just enough to pan-fry

Got everything? Let's get cooking!

Step 1: Cut the Wings

Start by cutting each chicken wing right in the middle at the joint. This helps them soak up the flavor better. If your wings are big, you can even cut them into three parts: drumette, flat, and tip (though you can skip the tip if you want).

Step 2: Mix Up the Marinade

In a big bowl, toss in your chopped garlic, soy sauce, oyster sauce, black pepper, a pinch of sugar, and a little salt. This combo smells incredible already—it's going to make your kitchen smell like a street food stall in the best way.

Step 3: Time to Marinate

Now, toss the wings in the marinade and use your hands to mix them well. Really make sure every piece gets coated. Let them sit for about 20 minutes. This wait is important—it gives the wings time to soak up all that garlicky goodness.

Step 4: Sear the Wings

Heat a frying pan with a bit of oil. Once the oil is hot (but not smoking), lay in the chicken wings one by one. Let them sizzle and cook until both sides are golden brown. This gives them that mouthwatering crust we all love.

Don't rush this part. Let them cook until the surface looks slightly crispy and browned—it locks in the juices!

Step 5: Garlic Time!

Once the wings are done, take them out for a second. Now throw a bit more minced garlic into the pan. Stir-fry it quickly until it smells amazing—just don't burn it, or it'll taste bitter.

Step 6: Toss It All Together

Put the chicken wings back in the pan, then toss in the chopped green and red peppers. Stir everything together so the wings are fully coated with the garlic and pepper aroma. Cook for another 1–2 minutes, just enough to blend the flavors and slightly soften the peppers.

Step 7: Serve and Enjoy!

And you're done! The result? A plate of juicy, garlicky chicken wings that are bursting with flavor. The garlic is bold but not overpowering, the wings are crispy outside and tender inside, and the peppers add just a bit of brightness and color.

Perfect for dinner, game night, or just snacking while watching your favorite shows!

Tips for the Best Flavor

• Use fresh garlic. It's the key to getting that amazing aroma.

• Don't skip marinating. Even 20 minutes makes a huge difference.

• Keep the heat medium. Too high and the garlic burns, too low and the wings don't crisp.

• Add peppers last. That way, they stay fresh and colorful.
