Plum Sauce Chicken Recipe Step-by-Step

The list of ingredients and utensils clearly reflects how easy this recipe is going to be. Just prepare, fry, dip in sauce, and enjoy. These simple steps are discussed in detail here. So, read carefully so as not to make any mistake.

Step 1: Prepare The Chicken

Take 300g chicken wings and clean them well. After cleaning, break the chicken wings to let them fry well, and the sauce inside. If the wings are small in size then avoid breaking.

Step 2: Mix The Chicken

Drain the water from the chicken and take them in a large mixing bowl. Then add 3 tbsp cooking oil and 2 tbsp salt pepper in the bowl. Now mix everything well. Proper mixing is important to ensure proper taste and frying.

Step 3: Air Fry The Chicken

After completing the mixing, prepare your air fryer. Preheat it to 350 F. Then add the chicken mix and fry for 6 minutes. After 6 minutes, check the chicken condition and again fry it for 3-5 minutes.

Fry the chicken until it gets a brown texture. But don’t over-fry the chicken. It will turn the chicken into a grill. The taste will be completely ruined.

Step 4: Heat the Plum Sauce

Take a frypan and add a little oil to it. Then add the plum sauce. Keep the oven at lower heat and cook the sauce. This is just to make the sauce hot. The hot plum sauce increases the taste of any dish a few times. So, do this at lower heat. High heat will burn the sauce. 2 minutes of cooking will be enough.

Step 5: Dip Into The Sauce

Pour the sauce into a mixing bowl, and pour chicken in it. Now mix to coat the sauce on the chicken pieces. Mix them until all the sauce is mixed well with the chicken.

Step 6: Garnish and Serve

I don’t consider serving as a part of a recipe, but this time the thing is different, so let’s see the serving part. Chop the green onion to make a small ring spread it over the chicken and then spread some sesame seeds. This is just to garnish. The chicken wings are ready to serve. 

Do’s and Don’ts of The Recipe

I have some warning for you in this recipe. Most of them are about frying and cooking the sauce. You must follow these things carefully.

• First of all, don’t over-fry the chicken. This can make the recipe completely different.
• I am talking about cooking sauce, but if you overcook this then you will see the sauce is burning. So, don’t overcook the sauce.
• You can use any other type of fryer to fry the chicken. Like microwave over, frypan, and any other types of fryer.

Can I Substitute Chicken Wings With Other Cuts Of Chicken?

There are many types of cuts of chicken. But I think wings are best for this recipe. But you can also use cuts like drumsticks or thighs. One is important while selecting chicken. That is, the chicken should be with bone. The boneless chicken will not be the best for this recipe. This is my thought.

Is there a way to make this recipe without an air fryer?

I already said that an air fryer is the best option to fry this recipe using less oil. So, this will stay healthy to take. But this is not a must. You may use any other type of fryer or fry pan to fry the chicken.
