Ingredients

- 1 kg of chicken wings (approximately 12 wings)
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil or vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons of spicy chicken seasoning
- 1/2 can of corn (approximately 150 g)
- 1/2 red bell pepper, diced
- 1/2 green bell pepper, diced
- 1 green onion, sliced
- 1 1/2 dl ratatouille (homemade or store-bought)
- Spicy pepper cream (store-bought, to taste)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

Preparation

1. Preparing the chicken wings
Start by washing the chicken wings thoroughly. Use a kitchen towel to dry them completely. This step is essential for achieving a crispy crust. Then, rub the wings with the spicy seasoning, ensuring they are evenly coated. The spices may vary, but look for a blend that includes paprika, garlic, and chili for added flavor.

2. Frying the wings
In a non-stick skillet, heat a tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the chicken wings. Fry them for about 20 minutes, turning them occasionally to brown evenly on all sides. The wings are ready when they are golden and crispy.

3. Preparing the garnish
In another skillet, add a tablespoon of oil and let it heat up. Add the diced bell peppers and sauté for about 2 minutes until they become slightly soft. Then, add the drained corn and green onion. Continue to sauté the mixture for 2 minutes, stirring frequently. Finally, add the prepared ratatouille, salt and pepper to taste, and season with spicy pepper cream, adjusting the heat level according to your preferences.

4. Assembling the dish
On a large platter, place the sautéed vegetable garnish. On top, arrange the fried chicken wings. Garnishing with chopped fresh parsley adds not only color but also a touch of freshness to the dish.

5. Serving
These wings are delicious served alongside chips, and Taco chips are an excellent choice to complement the meal. A cold beer or a light cocktail will make the culinary experience even more enjoyable.
