Tasty Tips
- Drain the chicken wings on a wire rack. This allows for air flow and excess oil to drip through so the wings stay crispy.
- Work in batches. When you add wings to the pan, it brings down the temperature of the oil. Don't overcrowd the pan and work in batches.
- Double fry to make the wings extra crispy! Fry the wings at 350°F for 3 minutes on each side. Let it cool for 15 minutes then fry at 400°F for 3-5 minutes on each side.
