Buying advice
1) Season wings and seal (keep them in a single layer if possible). 2) Cook at 150°F for 2 hours. 3) Pat very dry and chill 15 minutes. 4) Fry at 375°F for 3-4 minutes or broil until crispy. 5) Toss in your favorite sauce.
FAQ
What temperature for wings?
150°F (66°C) for 2 hours — juicy and fully cooked, ready for crisp.
Do I have to fry them?
No — a hot broiler works; just pat dry first. Frying gives the best crunch.
Why chill before frying?
It dries the skin further — the drier, the crispier.
