🧂 A Little History (and Why We Love Them So Much)
Fried chicken has deep roots in Southern cooking, where the art of seasoning, battering, and frying became a culinary ritual passed down through generations. Chicken wings — once overlooked — found their moment of glory in the mid-20th century when creative cooks realized how flavorful and fun they could be.
Today, fried chicken wings are a global favorite. From spicy Korean-style wings to American soul food classics, every culture has its own version — but the goal is always the same: that perfect balance of crunch and tenderness.
