Step by step for a perfect result:

1. Preparing the wings:
Start by washing the chicken wings well with cold water. Then, cut off the tips of the wings to remove excess fat. Place the wings in a bowl and cover them with cold water, letting them soak for 20 minutes. This step will help remove impurities and make the meat more tender.

2. Boiling the wings:
In a large pot, bring water to a boil. When it starts to boil, add the wings and chicken fat. It is important to use chicken fat to intensify the flavor of your soups. After adding the meat, you will notice foam forming on the surface; don’t forget to skim it off with a spoon. Let the wings boil for 30-40 minutes until the meat becomes tender.

3. Draining the wings:
After the meat is cooked, remove the wings to a colander and let them drain. This step is essential to remove excess liquid and prepare them for frying. Season them with salt, freshly ground pepper, and Delicat, adjusting the amount according to your preferences.

4. Frying the wings:
In a large skillet, add enough oil for frying. Wait for it to heat up, then add the wings. Fry them on both sides until golden and crispy, about 5-7 minutes on each side. This is the moment when the aroma will fill your kitchen! After frying, remove them to absorbent paper to get rid of excess oil.

5. Preparing the noodles:
While the wings are frying, strain the broth in which the wings were boiled and pour it into another pot, depending on the amount of noodles you want to prepare. Add salt to taste and heat the broth. Moisture is key for perfect noodles, so don't forget to keep a little broth aside in case the noodles thicken too much.

6. Boiling the noodles:
When the broth is almost boiling, add the homemade noodles. Stir gently to prevent them from sticking to the bottom of the pot. Boil them according to the instructions on the package or until they become al dente. Cook them carefully, stirring occasionally. Once they are ready, turn off the heat and sprinkle fresh parsley on top for a touch of freshness.

7. Serving:
Place the noodles in deep plates, add the fried wings on top, and if you wish, a drizzle of olive oil for extra flavor. This dish pairs perfectly with a fresh vegetable salad or a glass of chilled white wine. And for a sweet note at the end, you can enjoy a dessert of fresh fruits or a homemade cake.

Useful tips:
- To get more tender noodles, you can add a teaspoon of olive oil to the water in which you boil the noodles.
- If you prefer a healthier option, you can bake the wings in the oven instead of frying them. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake at 200°C for 30 minutes, turning them halfway through cooking.
- You can also experiment with the spices added to the wings, such as garlic powder, paprika, or other herbs, to achieve various flavors.

Frequently asked questions:
- Can I use another type of meat? Yes, you can replace the wings with chicken thighs or chicken breast, but the cooking time will vary.
- What can I do with the leftover broth? You can use the broth to prepare delicious soups or sauces, adding fresh vegetables for an extra nutrient boost.

Now that you have all the necessary information, all that's left is to get cooking! This fried wing noodle recipe will surely become a favorite in your home, bringing joy and flavor to every meal. Enjoy your meal!
