Recipe: Crispy Southern Fried Chicken Wings

5.6K

Fried chicken is one of America’s favorite food to eat, along with hot dogs, ice cream, and apple pie. There’s so many styles of chicken wings, bbq, grilled, sauced, or not sauced, but fried chicken wings are probably my favorite.  They’re easy to eat and you don’t have to worry about overcooking them like chicken breast, or undercooking them like chicken legs. Every year, there are multiple festivals in the Chicagoland area that pay tribute to the mighty chicken wing. Wing Fest is one of the most popular wing-festivals in the region. 

The fried chicken recipe below uses common seasonings like salt, pepper, and garlic seasoning, but I’ve also thrown in a few other seasonings to help boost the flavor.
