Homemade KFC Ramen Wings Recipe

What Are KFC Ramen Wings?

Ever wondered what happens when crispy fried wings meet a bold ramen kick? That’s exactly what KFC Ramen Wings are, a fusion of Korean-inspired spice, classic Kentucky crisp, and instant-noodle nostalgia.

These wings first popped up in KFC Pakistan and quickly went viral online, sparking the question: “Can you make KFC Ramen Wings at home?”
The answer, yes, absolutely. With a few pantry ingredients and the right ramen pack, you can recreate that same sticky, fiery glaze in under 30 minutes.

Ingredients List

Here’s everything you’ll need for your homemade KFC Ramen Wings recipe:

For the Wings

• 8 chicken wings, cleaned and patted dry
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• ½ cup cornstarch
• 1 tsp salt
• ½ tsp black pepper
• 1 egg + ½ cup milk (egg wash)
• Oil for deep frying

For the Ramen Glaze

• 1 pack spicy ramen noodles (Shin Ramyun or Samyang works great)
• 1 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tbsp honey or brown sugar
• 1 tsp rice vinegar (optional for tang)
• ½ tsp red pepper flakes (for extra heat)
• 1 tbsp butter

Garnish (Optional)

• Chopped green onions and sesame seeds

Step-by-Step Instructions (Method)

1. Prep the Chicken

Pat your wings dry (moisture = soggy crust). In a bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, salt, and pepper.

2. Double Coat for Extra Crunch

Dip wings into the egg wash, then coat with the dry mix. For an ultra-crispy finish, repeat!
That’s the secret behind that KFC-style crunch you can actually hear.

3. Fry Until Golden

Heat oil to 350 °F (175 °C). Fry the wings in batches for about 8–10 minutes or until deep golden and crispy. Drain on a rack or paper towel.

4. Make the Ramen Sauce

In a pan, cook the ramen noodles without the flavor packet for about 2 minutes, then drain. In the same pan, melt butter, add the flavor packet, soy sauce, honey, and a splash of water. Stir until the sauce is thick and sticky.

5. Coat and Toss

Add the fried wings to the pan and toss until each wing is glazed with that rich, spicy ramen sauce. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and green onions.

And there you go, KFC Ramen Wings at home!

Tips, Variations & Substitutions

• Too hot? Add a little brown sugar or honey to balance the heat.
• No ramen pack? Use chili garlic sauce or gochujang paste for a similar flavor.
• Air fryer method: Toss coated wings in a bit of oil and air fry at 375 °F for 18 minutes, flipping halfway.
• Ramen crust hack: Crush dry ramen noodles and mix them into the breading for an extra crunchy shell.
• KFC spicy style: Add a pinch of cayenne and smoked paprika to your flour mix.

I’ve experimented with versions using sweet chili and garlic sriracha sauce, too adds its own personality to the dish.

Serving Suggestions

These ramen-glazed chicken wings are made for sharing. Serve them with:

• Crispy fries or a side of coleslaw
• Plain ramen noodles tossed in butter and garlic
• Or go classic with KFC-style dipping sauces like creamy sriracha or sweet chili.

Pro tip from my kitchen: if you love heat, mix a bit of the ramen sauce with mayo for an epic dip.

Storage & Make-Ahead Notes

Fried wings taste best fresh, but you can store them like this:

• Let them cool completely, then store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
• Reheat in an air fryer or oven at 350°F until crisp again.
  Avoid microwaving; it makes the crust soggy and the sauce overly thick.
