Ingredients

beer sauce

10 g butter
8 g carrot (cut into thin diamond shapes (rombos))
17 g bell pepper (pimentón / morrón) (cut into thin strips)
80 g dark beer (or blonde beer)
onion powder (1/4 tsp)
garlic powder (1/8 tsp (the smallest))
70 g chicken stock
salt (1/8 tsp)
cornstarch (maicena) (1 tsp dissolved in 2 tsp water — for thickening)

breading

2 eggs (blended (not beaten) — blending makes egg liquid for thinner coating)

garnish

black sesame seeds (for garnish) opcional
white sesame seeds (for garnish) opcional

spiced flour mix

150 g all-purpose flour
50 g cornstarch (maicena)
3 g paprika powder
5 g garlic powder
5 g onion powder
10 g chicken-flavored seasoning
2 g salt
white pepper (approx. 1/8 tsp, freshly ground)

Steps

1

Make the spiced flour mix: combine flour (150 g), cornstarch (50 g), paprika (3 g), garlic powder (5 g), onion powder (5 g), chicken seasoning (10 g), salt (2 g), and a pinch of white pepper. Mix until homogeneous. Store covered at room temperature. After use, sift to remove lumps and store the fine powder; discard coarse residue.

Consejo: Keep spice additions subtle — avoid strong herbs like thyme, basil, or curry that compete with the sauce. The flour should have flavor but not overpower.

Prepare the egg wash: instead of beating the eggs, blend them in a blender until completely liquid. This thinner consistency means the wings will pick up less egg and therefore less flour — preventing an excessively thick, greasy crust.

Consejo: Blended egg vs. beaten egg is the key technique tip in this video — blended egg is significantly more liquid and gives a thinner, cleaner crust.

For breaded wings: dip wings in blended egg, then coat in spiced flour mix. For natural wings: fry as-is with no coating. Victor recommends natural-skin frying for better sauce flavor and cleaner oil.

Consejo: Pros of breading: larger appearance, crunchier. Cons: absorbs more oil, dirties the oil faster, masks the sauce flavor. You can bread wings up to twice for even more volume.

Fry the wings in hot oil until cooked through and golden. Remove and set aside. Drain on paper if needed.

~10 min

Make the beer sauce: in a pan, melt butter (10 g) over medium heat. Add carrot diamonds (8 g) and bell pepper strips (17 g) and sauté lightly until caramelized and flavors are released.

Consejo: Cut vegetables as thin as possible if using them raw and adding directly to the sauce — or pre-cook them.

~4 min
6

Add dark beer (80 g), onion powder (1/4 tsp), garlic powder (1/8 tsp), chicken stock (70 g), and salt (1/8 tsp) to the pan. Stir and bring to a simmer. Mix 1 tsp cornstarch with 2 tsp water and add to the sauce to thicken. Stir until glossy and sauce-like.

Consejo: Dark beer adds a toasty, smoky character. Blonde beer works too — choose based on your preference.

~5 min
7

Add the fried wings to the sauce and toss (napper) to coat. Present with the presentation side (skin side) facing up. Garnish half with black sesame seeds and half with white sesame seeds. Serve with french fries.

Consejo: Always turn wings to show the attractive side facing up when plating — avoid showing the inner vein side.
