| For Chicken
| For Batter
|
DIRECTIONS
Season chicken to taste. Set aside.
In a bowl beat eggs and add in a splash or so of milk.
In another bowl add flour.
Dip chicken wings in egg and milk wash making sure every part of the wing gets covered.
Roll the chicken wings in flour.
FRYING
Fill a deep frying pan (or wok) halfway with vegetable oil.
Heat the oil up until you hear it popping. If you have a thermometer, it should be about 350˚–375˚F.
Gently place wings in oil and cook over medium to medium high heat. Turn the chicken so that all sides are fried, about 5 or so minutes or until golden brown and crispy. You can also ladle oil over the sides of chicken that are exposed to the surface.
WARNING: Don't drop wings into the oil. The splash can cause burns.
Remove wings and put them on a plate covered with paper towels. The paper towels will help soak up excess grease.
