How to Make Crispy Deep Fried Savory Bat Wings

Making Crispy Deep Fried Savory Bat Wings is quite easy and fun! Here’s a step-by-step guide to get you started.

Ingredients:

  • 10 pieces Spring Roll Wrappers (Feel free to substitute with other thin wrappers if needed.)
  • 8 oz Cream Cheese (Consider using a dairy-free alternative for a versatile vegetarian option.)
  • 1 tbsp Black Food Dye (Optional if you prefer a lighter look.)
  • 8 pieces Spaghetti Noodles (Break them into suitable sizes before using.)
  • 2 cups Cooking Oil (Vegetable or canola oil works best.)

Directions:

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Gather all your ingredients and make sure your workspace is clean. It helps to have everything within reach.

  2. Make the Cream Cheese Filling: In a bowl, combine the eight ounces of cream cheese and the optional black food dye. Stir until it’s evenly mixed. The black dye will give a spooky look to the filling, but if you prefer a more traditional color, you can skip this step.

  3. Fill the Spring Roll Wrappers: Take a spring roll wrapper and put about a tablespoon of the cream cheese mixture in the center. Fold the wrapper over the filling and roll it tightly. Tuck in the sides and roll again to completely seal it. Repeat this process for all the wrappers.

  4. Add the "Wings": Now it’s time to add some "wings" to your bat! Take the broken pieces of spaghetti noodles to mimic the bat wings. Insert a few pieces into the sides of the wrapped cream cheese filling before fully sealing it in the wrapper.

  5. Heat the Oil: In a deep pan, pour in the cooking oil, enough to cover the wrappers when frying. Heat the oil over medium-high heat until it’s hot. You can test if the oil is ready by dropping a small piece of batter in; if it sizzles, it is hot enough.

  6. Fry the Bat Wings: Carefully place the filled wrappers in the hot oil. Fry them in batches to avoid crowding the pan. Fry for about 3-4 minutes, turning them occasionally, until they are golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to remove them and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil.

  7. Serve: Once all your bat wings are fried, they are ready to be enjoyed!

How to Serve Crispy Deep Fried Savory Bat Wings

Serve your crispy bat wings on a dark platter or plate to enhance the spooky effect. You can garnish them with some herbs or a drizzle of sauce to make them more visually appealing. A side of spicy dipping sauce or sweet chili sauce can add a delicious contrast to the creamy filling. Make sure to have napkins on hand, as these tasty treats can be quite addictive! Your friends and family will love them, and they’ll make the perfect talking point for your spooky gathering.

How to Store Crispy Deep Fried Savory Bat Wings

If you happen to have any leftovers (which is unlikely!), you can store them in an airtight container. They can be kept in the refrigerator for up to three days. To reheat, place them in the oven at 375°F for about 10-15 minutes to restore their crispiness. Avoid using the microwave, as this can make them soggy.

Tips to Make Crispy Deep Fried Savory Bat Wings

  • Temperature Control: Keep an eye on the temperature of the oil while frying. If it gets too hot, the outside may burn before the inside is cooked. Too cool, and they become greasy.

  • Filling Alternatives: Feel free to experiment with different fillings! You can try adding herbs, spices, or even cooked meats to the cream cheese base for different flavors.

  • Presentation: Consider adding some fun decorations on the serving plate. Fake spiders or cobwebs can add to the Halloween vibe!

  • Healthy Options: If you want a healthier version, you can air-fry these bat wings instead. Just coat them lightly with oil and follow your air fryer’s instructions for frying.

Variation

If you want to switch things up, try the following variations:

  • Sweet Bat Wings: Instead of cream cheese, use a mixture of sweetened cream cheese or even chocolate spread. Perfect for kids who might prefer sweeter treats at the party.

  • Vegetable Filling: Add finely chopped vegetables like spinach, peppers, or mushrooms mixed with the cream cheese filling for an added crunch and nutrition.

FAQs

1. Can I make the bat wings a day ahead?

Yes, you can prepare the bat wings a day ahead by filling the wrappers and storing them in the refrigerator. However, it is best to fry them just before serving to keep them crispy.

2. What can I use instead of spring roll wrappers?

You can use other types of thin wrappers, such as wonton wrappers, crepes, or even homemade dough. Thin slices of tortillas may also work, but they may not hold the shape as well.

3. What can I serve with the bat wings?

Serving bat wings with a dipping sauce is a great option. You might consider spicy ketchup, ranch dressing, or sweet chili sauce. A side of crunchy veggies or a light salad can also complement the dish well.

4. Are these bat wings suitable for vegans?

You can make these bat wings vegan by using a dairy-free cream cheese substitute. The dish can be made completely plant-based, making them suitable for vegans.

5. How can I make these bat wings gluten-free?

To make the bat wings gluten-free, use gluten-free spring roll wrappers and ensure your cream cheese and any additional ingredients are also gluten-free.

Enjoy preparing these fabulous and spooky Crispy Deep Fried Savory Bat Wings for your next party! They are sure to be a hit among your guests, creating delightful memories and spooky fun for everyone involved. Happy cooking!
