MISS EDIE'S CINNAMON CHICKEN WINGS

Steps:

• Soak wings in brine to remove impurities for about 30-60 minutes. Then rinse with cold water.
• Cut wings at joints with kitchen shears (save the tips and freeze them for stock).
• Combine flour, salt and pepper in large bowl or plate for dredging.
• Sprinkle lightly with McCormick's Cinnamon Sugar (resist the temptation to be liberal; that can make the skin gooey).
• Pat wings dry.
• Heat oil in electric skillet to 375 degrees.
• Dredge sugared wings into flour mixture. Remember to shake off excess flour.
• Put no more than 8-10 pieces into skillet at a time. Cook until golden brown and crispy.
• Drain cooked wings on newspaper or grocery bags. Don't use paper towels - this makes them soggy. I know it sounds like it takes forever, but this is just an estimated time.
• If you want to make more, just replenish your flour mixture, and you shouldn't need anymore oil. I know it's a lot of oil, but these wings MUST be deep-fried to enjoy the taste. Eat them with fries or salad. They go great with a nice pinot grigio too.
