Fried Chicken Wings
List of Ingredients
This whole wing craze has me a little stumped because growing up in California, wings were a standard part of my diet. They're a good buy when money is short and there are mouths to feed. I have good memories of the smell of fried chicken coming from the kitchen... This is the recipe my mom and grandma use, so you'd BETTER LIKE IT! (=
2 1/2 pounds wings, trimmed and separated
salt, pepper, and paprika (use the shakers and your judgement)
1 cup flour (held in a brown paper bag)
enough oil to deep-fry
Recipe
Lay out wing segments and sprinkle both sides liberally with spices
Place seasoned wings in the paper bag with the flour, close tightly, and shake bag until the wings are evenly coated
Heat frying oil to medium high and deep fry wings until brown and crisp, 10 to 15 minutes. Drain on a paper towel. Transfer to a platter and serve.

That's the way it was at my grandma's house. As with all recipies, you are free to add and delete ingredients as you see fit. After all this is cooking, not law school!
