Crispy Fried Chicken Wings with Aromatic Herb Marinade
If you love crispy fried chicken, this version is definitely worth trying. What makes these fried chicken wings special is the way they are prepared before frying. Instead of marinating the chicken directly in a thick sauce or seasoning mixture, the wings are soaked overnight in an aromatic marinade made by simmering fresh herbs, spices, and seasonings . The marinade is first cooked and cooled, allowing all the flavors to infuse into the liquid before the chicken wings are added. The next day, the wings are drained and dried thoroughly, then coated with egg and tapioca starch.
