Fried Turkey Wings

Crispy, juicy fried turkey wings you’ll crave every time!

There’s something wildly satisfying about biting into a crispy fried turkey wing — juicy on the inside, golden and seasoned just right on the outside. I make these wings when I want comfort food that feels like a hug from the inside out.

My secret? A flavorful soak with white wine vinegar, allspice, and a little hot sauce to bring out all the richness of the turkey. It tenderizes the meat and adds just enough zing to make each bite pop.

What Oil Should You Use?

For that perfect crispy skin, I always go with peanut oil. It can handle high heat and gives the wings that deep, golden crunch without burning. 

If you don’t have peanut oil, vegetable oil or canola oil are great backups.

Tips for the Best Fried Turkey Wings

• Pat dry before applying the seasoning. Drain seasoning liquid before frying. Moisture is the enemy of crispiness!
• Don’t overcrowd the pan. Give each wing space to crisp up properly.
• Use a thermometer. Oil should stay around 350°F for even frying.
