I make my chicken wings the same way in the oven no oil needed as the wings have enough fat in then when they are done I toss them in wing sauce.What oil is healthiest for deep frying seems like an oxymoron. Different people will tell you different things, but I would have to say Olive oil is the lightest and healthiest oil for you. I read somewhere that they actually use olive oil on certain surgical equipment to help lubricate them. Alittle off topic, I know!
As far as making wings and chips, Absolutely you can make them in the oven. Wings especially come out rather well. The way I do it is to cook them in a pan for 45 min - hour on high heat (approx.375-400) and then drain the juice. After that give them another hour on high heat and they come out crispy and wonderful.
Though you can bake potato chips, I honestly, prefer mine fried with BBQ seasonings...
I use olive oil for everything-- even frying. That's just how it's done here. In Spanish homes, everything is cooked in EVOO almost without exception. It does get a little smokey, but I love the flavor of foods (especially potato chips) fried in olive oil.
I have a great recipe for wings that come out super crisp and delicious. You just marinate them awhile in a mixture of oil, soy sauce, hot sauce, and other things, then bake them for in a hot oven. They're better than fried!
