CRISPY DEEP FRIED CHICKEN WINGS

Cooking chicken using buttermilk is a popular ingredient when making Fried Chicken. The buttermilk helps to tenderize the chicken because it has enzymes and acids that works together to break down the proteins in the chicken resulting in a more tender piece of meat, this is why chefs soak their chicken overnight before cooking it.

Many cooks have they own way of frying chicken and like i said before in my chicken breast recipe, it depends on what part of the chicken that i am frying which method l would use. Also, when I fry wing dings sometimes I will not put any flour on them, I would just season them, fry them, and serve them with different dipping sauces.

When I use this recipe, I like to shake on hot sauce and ketchup, or smother them in a nice honey mustard sauce, either way they are delicious. Just follow the illustrations below and recipe to make your own deep fried chicken wings.
