Prepare and marinate the chicken wings
To remove the fishy smell and dirt from the chicken wings, after buying them, rub the wings with salt and then rinse them with water. Next, cut the wings into bite-sized pieces.
Then, marinate the chicken wings with 1/2 teaspoon of pepper, 1/2 tablespoon of seasoning, 1/2 teaspoon of monosodium glutamate, and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice.
Tip:
- To help the wings absorb the seasoning and fry more quickly, use a knife to make vertical cuts on the meat of the chicken wings.
- If you want the chicken wings to be crispy and absorb the seasoning faster when frying, remember to add lemon juice during marination!

How to choose fresh and delicious chicken wings
- You should choose industrial chicken wings instead of local chicken for fried chicken dishes as they will have more meat and a better wing shape.
- Choose chicken wings that have a natural light yellow color, press to see if the meat is firm and elastic.
- Do not buy wings with bruises, blood clots, uneven color, foul smell, or soft and mushy meat.
- The fresh wing meat should be clear; if you see dark spots, it may indicate that the chicken died before being slaughtered.
How to prepare chicken wings to reduce odor
- After rubbing the chicken wings with salt, you can use a mixture of rice wine and sliced ginger, pounding slightly while rubbing and squeezing the wings again to help eliminate the odor and dirt.
- Additionally, you can soak the chicken wings in water mixed with lemon juice for 15 – 20 minutes. Then, remove them, rinse with cold water, and let them drain.
How to fry chicken wings crispy and delicious
- To prevent the chicken wings from sticking to the pan, add them when the oil is just hot, not when the oil is too hot or hasn’t heated up yet.
- You should fry both sides of the chicken wings until cooked; cutting the wings at the joints can make frying easier.
- Only fry a reasonable amount of chicken wings at a time; avoid frying too many wings at once to prevent the oil temperature from dropping, which can result in wings that are not crispy and may stick together.
- Fry the chicken wings over low heat and submerge them in oil to ensure the meat inside cooks evenly and the outside turns a beautiful golden color.
- If the chicken wings stick to the pan, turn off the heat, tilt the oil to one side, and wait for the pan to cool down; the wings will naturally come off.
