Frying wings for a home-gate party is fun and delicious, but what temp should you be frying them at?
The best temperature for frying chicken wings is 350°F (177°C). At that temperature, you have time to cook the meat all the way through while the skin on crisps up. A lower temp yields less-crisp skin, a higher temp can overcook the skin before the inside is done cooking.
Chicken Wing Fry Temp
Cook your wings at 350°F (177°C) in neutral-tasting oil
Use your ChefAlarm® to keep an eye on your oil temps and adjust them as needed for perfect, crispy wings!
For wings that are fully cooked, safe, and also juicy without being rubbery or chewy, you have to cook them til most of the collagen in the darkish meat turns into gelatin. That means cooking your wings to an internal temperature of 175°F (79°C).
