Brining involves soaking the chicken in a solution of salt, sugar, and sometimes other seasonings or aromatics.
Brine helps infuse chicken with flavors. This is particularly useful for wings, which can absorb the flavors more effectively due to their smaller size.
Brining is beneficial when you're deep-frying or cooking the wings at high temperatures, as it contributes to a juicier end result.
For the best results, it's advisable to brine the chicken wings for at least a few hours or, ideally, overnight.
