Salted Pan-Fried Chicken Wings

Salted Pan-Fried Chicken Wings

These crispy, golden pan-fried chicken wings are a simple yet irresistible dish that delivers juicy, flavorful bites every time. The secret lies in the marination process—soaking the wings in salt enhances their tenderness before they’re rinsed and pan-fried to perfection. Cooked low and slow in just a touch of oil, the wings develop a deliciously crisp exterior while staying succulent inside, thanks to a quick simmer under a covered lid. Serve them as-is for a pure, savory taste, or spice them up with a sprinkle of black pepper, cumin, or chili powder for an extra kick. Perfect as an appetizer, game-day snack, or weeknight dinner, these wings are a fuss-free crowd-pleaser with maximum flavor and minimal ingredients.
