Four minutes for the second fry on the potatoes. I usually find a minute or
two is enough. Cook them longer the first time and the second fry heats
them up and crisps them.


Use smaller wings. I usually cook wings 5-6 minutes, and that it enough to
cook them through and crisp the skin. You can keep them warm in the oven,
If serving them as snack food, just fry them up, sauce them up and serve
them up in batches at they come out of the fryer.
