Miss Edie's Cinnamon Chicken Wings

Total Time: 2 hrs Preparation Time: 1 hr Cook Time: 1 hr

Ingredients

• Servings: 6
• 2 lbs chicken wings (or more, as many as you want!)
• vegetable oil or peanut oil
• 2 cups flour
• 1 tablespoon salt
• 1 tablespoon black pepper
• mccormick's cinnamon sugar

Recipe

• 1 soak wings in brine to remove impurities for about 30-60 minutes. then rinse with cold water.
• 2 cut wings at joints with kitchen shears (save the tips and freeze them for stock).
• 3 combine flour, salt and pepper in large bowl or plate for dredging.
• 4 sprinkle lightly with mccormick's cinnamon sugar (resist the temptation to be liberal; that can make the skin gooey).
• 5 pat wings dry.
• 6 heat oil in electric skillet to 375 degrees.
• 7 dredge sugared wings into flour mixture. remember to shake off excess flour.
• 8 put no more than 8-10 pieces into skillet at a time. cook until golden brown and crispy.
• 9 drain cooked wings on newspaper or grocery bags. don't use paper towels - this makes them soggy. i know it sounds like it takes forever, but this is just an estimated time.
• 10 if you want to make more, just replenish your flour mixture, and you shouldn't need anymore oil. i know it's a lot of oil, but these wings must be deep-fried to enjoy the taste. eat them with fries or salad. they go great with a nice pinot grigio too.
