If your ideal chicken wing is so crispy it “crunches” at first bite, then these fried chicken wings should be a must-have on your game day spread. While we love our baked buffalo wings, fried wings satisfy that craving for a salty, crunchy bite made for dipping (or tossing) in your favorite sauce. Coating our chicken in a seasoned flour mixture ensures that these wings are not only perfectly golden and crisp after frying, but extremely flavorful. Serve these at your Super Bowl party with an array of your favorite wing sauces so everyone can customize these crispy-yet-moist wings.
