PrintChinese Takeout Chicken Wings?
I grew up in New England, and when I ordered chicken wings at a Chinese Takeout place, I would get the crispy ones with all 3 parts attached. When I moved down here to Texas, I tried ordering chicken wings and got these wet, nasty, excuses for wings. They were separated like Buffalo wings and were coated in this nasty sauce that tasted like they were MSG flavored. Does anyone know how to make the wings I grew up ordering? PLEEASE! I will love you forever!

What part of Texas? I know a place in Austin that serves wings similar to what you describe. Basically the meat is really tasty,and the crust is crispy and seasoned but not tossed in sauce, no?

Recipe for 4 chicken wings "fried hard"!!! (movie reference)
16 Chicken wings
2/3 cup milk
1 egg
1 cup of flour
1 cup of peanut oil
Season chicken and flour with salt and pepper.
Mix egg and milk lightly and add to the flour fold the batter together
Dredge chicken wings in flour mixture. Heat Oil in a good frying pan, cast iron if at all possible to 375 degrees
Add chicken cook for 5 minutes total, remove season with salt and serve.
BTW make sure you clip off that top wingy part, cause its annoying, has no meat and just gets in the way.

Make sure you leave some of the feathers on the wings too ... sometimes I get bits of really smalled fried feathers that haven't been totally plucked off when i order Chinese take-out wings.
