The key to less greasy frying is the proper oil temperature. For the quickest and most accurate oil temperature reading, use either a deep fat thermometer or an electric fryer.

The best bargains on chicken wings, or already trimmed drumettes, can be found in the bulk packages that are often labeled family size. Look for them in the frozen food section of the grocer.
