Notes

Use a thermometer to check your frying oil temperature. Aim for 350 to 375 degrees F. Oil that is too hot burns the outside before the inside cooks. Oil that is too cold causes the wings to absorb too much oil.

Peanut oil works well for frying. You can also use any oil with a high smoke point, such as vegetable oil or canola oil.
