Love turkey but don’t want to cook a whole bird this Thanksgiving? Have you always been curious about deep-fried turkey but intimidated by the equipment required? These crispy fried turkey wings don’t require a turkey fryer and are ideal for a smaller gathering. The buttermilk brine makes them extra juicy while the flour dredge creates the crunchiest possible exterior. The tangy and flavorful cranberry glaze adds tons of umami thanks to a secret ingredient: soy sauce.
