Coat Chicken Wings
Remove the wings from the marinade, letting the excess drip off. Dredge each wing in the breading mixture, ensuring they are well coated. Shake off any excess flour.
Frying the Chicken

Heat Oil
In a large, deep skillet or pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Use a thermometer to check that the oil reaches 350°F (175°C).

Fry Wings
Carefully add the coated chicken wings to the hot oil, a few at a time, without overcrowding the pan. Fry for about 8-10 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through, turning them occasionally for even cooking.
