Old Fashioned Crispy Fried Chicken Wings | I Heart Recipes

This is a simple recipe for Old Fashioned Crispy Fried Chicken Wings. The brine gives these wings SO much flavor and makes tender, juicy wings that are perfect comfort food. Don’t skip out on the brining, even though it takes at least 4 hours. I use a blend of different seasonings, both in the flour coating and underneath it. I always like to fry my chicken in my cast iron skillet. Happy cooking!

Great tips! I especially love the cornstarch addition and I'm definitely going to use that next time. I want to caution people who do not already know that any time you are making a fried meat with a flour coating you want to let it sit for a few mins after dredging. The juices from the meat will "seal" the flour to it and your coating will stay on much better than if you just popped into the oil right away. This is probably why she coats it first, then lets it sit while the oil heats up.

Don't judge but I'm not a cook. Best I can do is breakfast food BUT I'm trying to learn. With that being said, this is my first time frying chicken with your video and I must say. It was bomb. Super proud! Your video was easy to follow and gave great instructions so thank you!

[kezkezooie]

I've commented about this on other videos you've done but I can't stop thanking you for introducing me to brining chicken! How such a simple additional technique can make so much of a difference is astounding.

I've been telling everyone I know about it and those that have tried it agree with me wholeheartedly. It's not something that many people know about in Australia so hopefully the word will spread!

Looks Tasty, awesome recipe. When i Fry Chicken Wings, I prefer to actually easily fold the wings, the flap under the drumette where it forms a triangle shape folded. It makes more room in pan and fry more evenly.
