- 2 lbs chicken wings fresh or thawed
- 1 cup Italian salad dressing store-bought or homemade
- 1 cup flour optional for coating
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Oil for frying vegetable or peanut oil
Marinate the Wings:
Place the chicken wings in a large bowl or sealable plastic bag.
Pour in the Italian dressing and toss or gently shake to coat each wing evenly.
Let the wings marinate for at least 1-2 hours, or overnight for maximum flavor.
Optional Flour Coating:
After marinating, lightly dust each wing with flour for extra crunch (optional).
If desired, season the flour with salt, pepper, or garlic powder for additional flavor.
Baked Alternative:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Arrange the marinated wings on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through for even cooking. For extra crispiness, broil the wings for the last 2-3 minutes.
Serve and Enjoy:
Once cooked, garnish the wings with fresh parsley or a sprinkle of parmesan if desired.
Serve with classic sides like celery and carrot sticks, or a refreshing salad.
