Hilarious TikTok Fail: Lady's Magwinya Turns into Fried Chicken, South Africans in Stitches

• A video of some strange looking magwinya has been doing the rounds on the social media streets
• The video posted on TikTok shows the fat cakes being fried in oil before revealing how they came out
• The magwinyas looked more like fried chicken and had many SA netizens cracking jokes

If you've ever tried making amagwinya you'll know that the first attempt is usually quite messy.

Amagwinya or vetkoek are fried treats that are one of South Africa's most beloved foods, Woolworths Taste explains.

These treats are essentially like doughnuts, made with yeasty bread dough that is shaped into balls (sometimes flattened slightly) and then fried in hot oil until golden brown and slightly swollen. The soft, bread-like center is simply heavenly!

The video posted on TikTok shows the woman deep frying the fat cakes in a pot before showing the outcome, which looks more like odd pieces of fried chicken than amagwinya.

Watch the video below:

Thandi Mthethwa of Mam'Thandi's Kitchen, an eatery in Umgababa, Durban told Briefly News that she found the magwinya's very odd.

"Amagwinya are supposed to have a golden brown skin and have a soft 'bready' feel inside. This is achieved when you've mixed and kneaded your dough properly and also allowed it to rise first (due to the yeast) before frying. Failing to do this could result in very hard magwinyas," Thandi explained.

South Africans convinced lady's magwinya is KFC

Joked flew in the comments section as netizens poked fun at the lady's cakes. Many people said it looked like KFC zinger wings, LOL.
