Cooking features
Chicken wings are not one of the hard-to-find products, and even an inexperienced cook can fry them deliciously. It is enough to know a few subtleties and follow the recommendations that accompany the chosen recipe.
- The quality of the ingredients used plays a decisive role in the taste of the finished dish. Chicken wings must be fresh and unspoiled. If they are slippery and emit an unpleasant odor, you should not purchase them. No marinade in the world can turn stale meat into delicious food.
- Frozen wings are not very good for frying as they often turn out dry. It is better to give preference to fresh or chilled. If you do use defrosted product, allow it to thaw in a cool place without allowing sudden changes in temperature.
- Experts do not advise taking wings that are too large, larger than 10 centimeters, as they can be harmful to the body.
- Before frying, chicken wings need to be kept in the marinade for some time. The marinating period may vary depending on the specific recipe, but is usually between 4 and 6 hours. Some housewives leave the wings in the sauce overnight.
- Do not exceed the recommended cooking time for the wings or they will be dry. When frying in a pan, you need to turn them over often to avoid burning. It is better to bake them in the oven or slow cooker, placing them in a baking sleeve or wrapping them in foil. In this case, shortly before cooking, the wings need to be freed from foil or film so that they can brown better.
Chicken wings in honey mustard sauce can be served as an independent dish; no side dish is required. If you still want to supplement them with something, potatoes, rice, and vegetable salad will do.

- wings - about 500 grams;

- As in other recipes for preparing this dish, you must wash the meat and cut off all excess. Usually the very edge that is not edible is cut off. After the wings are washed, they need to be allowed to dry and only then proceed to further cooking.
- While the meat is drying, the filling is made for them. All other ingredients are mixed and the meat is immersed in the resulting mass for about an hour. To make the process go faster, the container can be placed in the refrigerator during this time.
- When time has passed, you can begin heat treatment. Usually everything is laid out on a baking sheet and put into the oven, but this recipe will use a frying pan.
- Heat it together with the oil, lay out the meat so that it forms one layer, and fry for about 5 minutes on each side. If necessary, we do this several times until all the wings are gone.
- To make the result even softer and juicier, you can add a little water and simmer for another 10 minutes over low heat.
