Oldbay Wings

Old Bay wings are a popular dish that originated in the Mid-Atlantic region of the United States, particularly in Maryland and Virginia. They are named after the Old Bay seasoning blend, which is a combination of herbs and spices that is commonly used to season seafood in the Chesapeake Bay region.

Old Bay wings are typically made by tossing chicken wings in a mixture of flour, Old Bay seasoning, and sometimes other seasonings, and then deep-frying them until crispy. They are often served with a dipping sauce, such as blue cheese dressing or ranch dressing.
