Ingredients:

• 2 pounds chicken wings
• 1/4 cup lime juice
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 cup Otto's Cassava Flour
• Oil for frying

To prepare the Frango à passarinho, start by marinating the chicken wings in a mixture of lime juice, minced garlic, salt, and pepper for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. After marinating, coat each wing in Otto's Cassava Flour to achieve that crispy texture.

Heat oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 375°F, and fry the wings in small batches until they're dark golden brown and have reached an internal temperature of 165°F. This usually takes about 8-10 minutes per batch. Once cooked, remove the wings and drain on paper towels.

For the best results, verify that the oil is at the correct temperature before adding the wings to prevent them from becoming greasy. Also, remember to fry in small batches to maintain the oil temperature, which will help achieve that perfect crispy exterior. Experiment with different marinades and spices to customize the flavor profile of your wings.
