Cooking Tip

Peanut Oil

Peanut oil has a higher smoke point than many other oils. It is a very good oil for use in deep frying.

Cooking Tip

White Wine Vinegar

White wine vinegar adds a tangy bite to this chicken wing recipe. As color is not an issue, red wine vinegar would be a good substitute, otherwise any non-wine white type vinegar would work.
