Jerry's Fried Wings
List of Ingredients
8-12 chicken wings
3/4 cup salt
1 medium onion, thinly sliced
1 cup yogurt
3/4 cup water
1 cup flour
1 tblsp coarse salt
1 tsp freshly ground pepper
1 tsp hot pepper flakes
1 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup unsalted butter (possibly more)
Recipe
Arrange wings in a glass baking dish and sprinkle evenly with 1/4 cup of salt. Turn them over and springle with the rest. Chill the wings two hours.
Rinse the wings in a colander under cold water and drain.
Remove the salt from the baking dish and arrange the wings in a single layer with the onion slices on top.
Mix the yogurt and water and pour evenly over the onions. Chill, covered, from 12 to 24 hours.
Discard onions and drain the wings in the colander.
Mix the flour, coarse salt, pepper, and hot pepper in a shallow bowl.
Dredge the wings until coated with the flour mixture. Arrange them top side up on wax paper and leave for 15 minutes.
Sprinkle the remaining flour mixture over the wings, pat to adhere, and let stand another 15 minutes.
Heat the oil and butter over high heat in a heavy skillet. Add the wings, in one layer, top side down, and reduce heat to medium high. Cook wings covered until deep golden, about eight minutes. Depending on the size of your pan, you may need to do two or three batches. Add a little (1-2 tblsp) extra butter for each batch.
Turn wings and cook uncovered, until deep golden, about six minutes.
Transfer wings with tongs onto a rack set over the baking pan. Let drain.
