Chicken:

Filling:

To Assemble:


This recipe is inspired by Tigres o Mejillones Rellenos or stuffed mussels, a favourite Spanish tapas. In this chicken version, the wingette is deboned and stuffed with a thick cheesy bechamel, double breaded before deep-fried. This wings recipe may take a bit more effort, but it has all the elements of a perfect pre-game bite – crispy, cheesy, and most importantly not messy.

Preparation

  1. Chicken:

    • Debone the chicken bones of the chicken wingette by carefully starting to make small incisions from the joint where the drumette and the wingette are held together.
    • Scrape down the bones to release the meat.
    • Make sure not to pierce through the skin to secure the filling.

  2. Filling:

    • Heat the butter in a sauté pan.
    • Sweat the onions and the garlic.
    • Add the capsicums, followed by the smoked paprika.
    • Add the Knorr Cream of Chicken Soup into the mix to make a roux. Mix well using a spoon or whisk.
    • Slowly pour in the milk while whisking to make the sauce base.
    • Bring the sauce to a simmer, then stir in the mustard and cheese. Continuously stir as the sauce thickens.
    • Whisk in the Knorr Professional Tomato Powder. At this point, the sauce will appear very thick, almost similar to melted cheese. Taste and adjust seasoning.
    • Let the sauce completely cool down, then transfer to a piping bag with a standard piping tip.
  3. To Assemble:

    • Pipe the sauce into the opening of the chicken wing. Leave about 1cm part unfilled to gently tuck in the edge or the skin over.
    • Arrange the chicken on a tray. Place in the freezer for 30 minutes to cool down or harden the stuffing further so it will be easier to bread.
    • Arrange the breading procedure by lining up separate trays for the flour/cornstarch mixture, beaten eggs and panko breadcrumbs.
    • Season flour mixture and panko breadcrumb trays with Knorr Professional Far East Seasoning.
    • Carefully bread each wing using the standard breading procedure. Double bread the wings to further secure the filling.
    • Freeze the wings for about 20-30 minutes before frying.
    • Heat the oil to 175°F. Deep-fry the wings for 8-10 minutes.
    • Serve with mayonnaise on the side.
