2. Marinate the wings in the marinade of your choice for 4 hours in the refrigerator. Drain the wings and discard the marinade. Heat 3/4 inch of peanut oil to 375 degrees. Toss the wings in flour, shake of excess. Working in batches, fry the wings until they are golden brown and cooked through. Transfer to a baking sheet.
