Fried chicken wings became popular in the United States after the 1964 Buffalo wing craze, where they were first served at the Anchor Bar in Buffalo, New York. Since then, they have become a staple at bars, sports events, and family gatherings across the country.

In the South, wings are often double‑fried and served with a dry rub, while the Buffalo style uses a hot sauce‑based coating. Korean fried wings are tossed in a sweet‑spicy glaze, and Nashville hot wings are coated in a fiery cayenne‑rich batter.

Fried chicken wings are a classic snack for Super Bowl parties, tailgate gatherings, and casual bar nights. They’re also served at birthday parties and family get‑togethers as a crowd‑pleasing finger food.

MR. NYSauce’s method uses a wet egg‑based marinate with hot sauce, mustard, whole milk, and pickle juice, which adds tanginess and moisture. The double coating of flour and cornstarch creates an ultra‑crisp exterior while keeping the meat juicy.

Common errors include not drying the wings, skipping the 15‑minute rest after coating, and letting the oil temperature drop below 350°F. Each of these can lead to soggy coating or uneven cooking.

Flour provides structure while cornstarch absorbs moisture and creates a lighter, crispier crust. The combination yields a coating that stays crunchy even after a short rest period.

Yes. You can marinate the wings up to 24 hours, then coat and refrigerate them for up to 4 hours before frying. Store the fried wings in an airtight container in the refrigerator and reheat in a hot oven to retain crispness.

The wings should be deep golden‑brown, with a dry, crackly surface. Internally, the meat should be tender and the temperature should read 165°F (74°C) on a probe.
