To remove the fishy smell and dirt from the chicken wings, after buying them, rub the wings with salt and then rinse them with water. Next, cut the wings into bite-sized pieces.
Then, marinate the chicken wings with 1/2 teaspoon of pepper, 1/2 tablespoon of seasoning, 1/2 teaspoon of monosodium glutamate, and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice.
Tip:
- To help the wings absorb the seasoning and fry more quickly, use a knife to make vertical cuts on the meat of the chicken wings.
- If you want the chicken wings to be crispy and absorb the seasoning faster when frying, remember to add lemon juice during marination!

How to choose fresh and delicious chicken wings
- You should choose industrial chicken wings instead of local chicken for fried chicken dishes as they will have more meat and a better wing shape.
- Choose chicken wings that have a natural light yellow color, press to see if the meat is firm and elastic.
- Do not buy wings with bruises, blood clots, uneven color, foul smell, or soft and mushy meat.
- The fresh wing meat should be clear; if you see dark spots, it may indicate that the chicken died before being slaughtered.
How to prepare chicken wings to reduce odor
- After rubbing the chicken wings with salt, you can use a mixture of rice wine and sliced ginger, pounding slightly while rubbing and squeezing the wings again to help eliminate the odor and dirt.
- Additionally, you can soak the chicken wings in water mixed with lemon juice for 15 – 20 minutes. Then, remove them, rinse with cold water, and let them drain.
How to fry chicken wings crispy and delicious
- To prevent the chicken wings from sticking to the pan, add them when the oil is just hot, not when the oil is too hot or hasn’t heated up yet.
- You should fry both sides of the chicken wings until cooked; cutting the wings at the joints can make frying easier.
- Only fry a reasonable amount of chicken wings at a time; avoid frying too many wings at once to prevent the oil temperature from dropping, which can result in wings that are not crispy and may stick together.
- Fry the chicken wings over low heat and submerge them in oil to ensure the meat inside cooks evenly and the outside turns a beautiful golden color.
- If the chicken wings stick to the pan, turn off the heat, tilt the oil to one side, and wait for the pan to cool down; the wings will naturally come off.
