Directions
Claritha’s Fried Chicken Wings, OH MY! All I can say is, Claritha knows her fried chicken! I had heard about soaking poultry in a brine solution and during an internet search, came across this recipe A true southern style recipe, we think this is absolutely the best fried chicken we have ever eaten See you if don’t agree!, It’s true, these are AWESOME chicken wings!, These turned out really yummy! My one mistake was that they were really salty!! but that was my fault, as i musn’t have rinsed the salt brine off very well the meat was so tender though, and the crust was really crunchy and yummy I made these for my six year old son, who won’t eat anything but cereal and he asked me for wings, he ate 8!! Next time I make these and def will be a next time, I will remember to rinse, rinse, rinse, also I only added a pinch of salt to the flour My first attempt at frying chicken, and it was soo easy thank you for a yummy and delicious recipe Foodlover1
