Fried chicken is a traditional festive dish. Often, chicken is replaced with components such as hips, wings and legs. Fried wings have an unforgettable taste and go well with hot and spicy seasonings. The sharp-sweet taste of meat has won the hearts of many lovers of spicy dishes. Learn how to cook chicken wings in honey and soy sauce in this article.
How to choose the wings?
Between the frozen and chilled product, choose the last one. So you can be sure of the quality of the goods and not overpay for ice.
Wings should not have any defects and blood smudges.
Their size should be no more than twelve centimeters. Too large a product should alert you, as it is likely that the birds were fed hormonal supplements.
The smell of wings should not cause suspicion. If any, it is better to refuse to purchase this product.
The skin color of a quality product should be light beige with a delicate pink tint.
By lightly pressing the wing, quality meat will not lose its elasticity and will quickly recover to its previous position. In the opposite case, you have a product that has been frozen and thawed several times.
