Whether it’s been at a restaurant, a bar, or a friend’s house, there’s one constant over the years that connects all of the great chicken wings I’ve had: They’ve been brined. If you’ve ever had that feeling of biting into a dry, overcooked, chewy wing, it’s completely preventable. Wings should be crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. That process, friends, starts with a good brine.

As much as we love baked chicken wings, air-fried chicken wings, and grilled chicken wings, for the the ultimate crispiest skin we recommend frying them. When the light breading hits the hot oil, it locks in moisture and adds crunch. We’ll walk you through how easy it is to fry restaurant-style chicken wings at home.These crispy wings are nicely spiced on their own, but they still benefit from a thick sauce like teriyaki, Buffalo, ranch, or whatever flavor profile you dream up.

Of all the techniques for preparing chicken I learned in culinary school, spatchcocking is the one I return to the most. Sure, it’s great to know how to break down a whole chicken, but nothing compares to the satisfaction that spatchcocking provides. Luckily, you don’t need a culinary school degree to spatchcock. The process is simple — remove the chicken’s backbone and then flatten the bird — and immensely rewarding.

For all the times I have ordered chicken lettuce wraps at restaurants like P.F.
