    Instead of frying these, I marinated them over night and then added a bit of water to the bag, shook em up and put 'em on the grill for about 20-25 mintues. They were GREAT! Disappered super fast! Thanks!

    I would have to agree, as written the skin is little too soft for my liking. I even brought them into work after the Superbowl and everyone loved them!

    I also made these for the Superbowl. Very, very good. The wings soak up so much flavor as they marinate. Perfect wings!!!!!!!!!!
