FRIED TURKEY WINGS WITH CRANBERRY GLAZE

Steps:

• Stir buttermilk, salt, and pepper in a large bowl to combine. Add turkey wings to buttermilk brine (make sure they are submerged). Cover and chill at least 4 hours and up to 12 hours.
• Cook cranberry sauce, orange juice, and soy sauce in a small saucepan over medium heat, breaking up cranberry sauce with a whisk, until cranberry sauce is melted and mixture is reduced slightly, 8-10 minutes. Season cranberry glaze with salt and let cool.
• Fit a medium Dutch oven or other heavy pot with thermometer. Pour in oil to come 3" up sides. Heat over medium-high until thermometer registers 325°. Line a rimmed baking sheet with paper towels; set a wire rack inside baking sheet.
• Whisk flour, pepper, and 2 Tbsp. Diamond Crystal or 1 Tbsp. plus ½ tsp. Morton kosher salt in a large shallow bowl.
• Using tongs, remove wings from brine, letting excess drip back into bowl, and place on a large plate. Spoon 3 Tbsp. brine into flour mixture and rub in with your fingers until mixture is the texture of coarse meal with some larger pieces; discard remaining brine.
• Working one at a time, dredge wings in flour mixture, turning to coat completely and pressing to adhere. Shake off excess and transfer wings to another large plate or baking sheet.
• Carefully slide wings into pot and fry, undisturbed, adjusting heat as needed to maintain temperature, until deep golden brown and crisp underneath, 6-8 minutes. Turn over and fry until deep golden brown on the other side and cooked through (an instant-read thermometer inserted into each piece should register 165°), about 4 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to prepared rack and let cool slightly.
• Using tongs, dip wings in cranberry glaze, turning to coat, then arrange on a platter. Sprinkle parsley over.

TENDER-AS-CAN-BE TURKEY WINGS, DRUMSTICKS, AND NECKS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 250F (low). Heat 1 tbsp butter and the olive oil in a large ovenproof skillet (or transfer to 9x13 after browning) over medium high heat.
• Add wings and drumsticks only. Sear outside to brown, turning as needed, about 5 minutes.
• Add necks so that all the meat is single layer in the pan. Season well with remaining butter, salt, and black pepper. (Brush with BBQ sauce now if using).
• Cover tightly with lid or aluminum foil and bake for about 3 1/2 hours (4 hrs if using legs).
• Carefully remove lid (watch for steam). Enjoy.
