Garlic Chicken Wings – Easy Delicious Finger Food

These Garlic Chicken Wings are so easy to make and probably one of the most affordable meat dishes around.

A lot of chicken wing recipes, especially the crispy ones require a deep fryer, but not our garlic chicken wings. The secret to these

The secret to the crispiness and flavour to this chicken recipe is the use of tallow as the cooking oil.

Tallow is simply beef or mutton fat.

Tallow is ideal because it has a very high smoke point (you can heat it to high temperatures without burning)

 

For this particular recipe we use:

  • Tallow to fry in
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • Garlic Powder
  • A few slices of lemon to serve

They make the perfect party food, entree or to serve on the side.
