What kind of chicken wings to use

Buy the chicken wings that have the drumettes and flats without the wing tips. They’re often labled as “party wings.” They may be frozen or fresh but, if you’re using frozen wings for this recipe, be sure to thaw them first in your refrigerator.

The secret to making crispy wings

The secret to making the crispiest chicken wings is using cornstarch. Cornstarch acts as a moisture-absorbing barrier. It absorbs the excess water from the skin leaving it crispy.

You will hear the crunch when you eat these wings.  This recipe makes the crispiest fried chicken. 

Where to find chicken wings in the grocery store

Look for chicken wings in the meat section or the frozen meat section. However, they may be in the frozen food section. Be sure to buy unseasoned wings.
