Seasoned Frying Powder and Seasoning Powder: The Classic Combo
Tea Zone Seasoned Frying Powder is a blend of various ground spices, perfect for adding robust flavor to your fried foods. This powder is particularly popular for making Taiwanese popcorn chicken, known for its crispy texture and savory taste. When you use this frying powder, it evolves through the cooking process, ensuring your dish has a delightful flavor and an amazing texture.
How to Use:
-
Coat your chicken wings evenly with the Seasoned Frying Powder before frying.

For an enhanced flavor and texture, add a sprinkle of Tea Zone Seasoning Powder to the mix. This seasoning, which includes pepper, salt, and herbal spices, will give your wings a delectable taste.
Result:
-
You get a solid, no-fail wing with a great texture and balanced flavor.

For those who love a bold flavor profile, this method combines the best of both worlds.

Fry your wings with an even coat of Tea Zone Seasoned Frying Powder.
-
After frying, dust the wings with Tea Zone Seasoning Powder.

Tea Zone Original Meat Marinating Powder: Unique and Flavorful
If you want to try something different, the Tea Zone Original Meat Marinating Powder is your go-to. This blend of spices simplifies the marinating process, offering a quick way to infuse your meat with delicious flavors.

Marinated and Double-Fried Wings: For Extra Crispiness
For those who crave extra crispy wings with a thicker breading, this method combines marinating and double-layer frying.
How to Use:

Mix ⅓ cup of Tea Zone Original Meat Marinating Powder with 1 cup of water for every 2 lbs of meat.
-
Marinate the chicken wings in this mixture and let them set overnight for the best flavor infusion.

For a thicker breading, dip the coated wings in a wet batter and then coat again with the frying powder.
-
Deep fry until the wings reach a golden, crispy texture.
Result:
-
These wings will have an exceptional flavor from the marinating process, combined with a thick, crispy breading reminiscent of classic fried chicken.
-
Air-Fried Chicken Wings: A Healthier Alternative
If you prefer a healthier option, you can easily air fry your chicken wings.
How to Use:
-
Follow any of the above methods to marinate your wings overnight for the best flavor.
-
Ensure the wings are completely dried before coating them with Tea Zone Seasoned Frying Powder.
-
After coating the wings, lightly coat them with a neutral oil, such as avocado oil.
-
Place the wings in a preheated air fryer at 375°F (190°C) for about 30 minutes.
-
Remember to flip the wings halfway through the cooking time to ensure even crispiness.
Result:
-
You’ll get deliciously crispy wings with less oil, maintaining all the great flavors from our seasoning powders.
Cooking Tip: Ensuring Proper Doneness
No matter which seasoning method you choose, it's crucial to cook your chicken wings to a safe internal temperature. Chicken should reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) to be fully cooked and safe to eat. Use a meat thermometer to check the temperature at the thickest part of the wing without touching the bone.
