    Calories

    This Fried Chicken Wings that I have shared here contains 484 calories per serving and it is an estimation by the nutrition calculator. The calorie count may change if you change any of the ingredients. You could also find detailed nutritional information in the recipe card below.

    Temperature

    The temperature of the Oil should range from 350°F to 375°F to deep fry the chicken. Here I have maintained the temperature of the oil at 350°F for the entire frying process. And it took nearly 8 to 10 minutes to cook the chicken wings for each batch.

    How Long to deep fry Chicken Wings?

    Chicken wings take about 8 to 10 minutes to fry and cook completely. And it also depends upon the temperature of the oil, so I would recommend maintaining it in the suggested range for achieving the best results. Also, I would recommend checking the internal temperature of the chicken wings using a thermometer. Cooking or frying the chicken wings to the safest minimal internal temperature recommended by FDA is 165°F.

    Storage Suggestions

    You could store the chicken wings for up to 2 days in the refrigerator in a closed airtight container. To reheat, I would suggest heating them back in a preheated oven at 375°F until the wings turn crispy and crunchy.

    Serving Suggestions

    Serve these Crispy Fried Chicken Wings with French Fries, buffalo sauce, honey mustard sauce, garlic parmesan sauce, chili sauce, honey mustard sauce, ranch, or other favorite sauces of your choice.
