OLD-PERSON RANT INCOMING: I am 100% over the hard fried phase. To me it's become a way to justify shitty cooking technique. If it's fried correctly it should be plenty crunchy. Everyone seems to overfry their wings now under the guise of hard fried.

Maybe in the hands of a truly skilled chef it would be different. But for now, just fry them the right way.

100% agree, I feel that ordering fried hard just means guaranteed that the meat will be dry/tough

Old person agreeing with you. The first time I saw fried hard on a menu I had no idea what that meant, then I was served over-cooked barely edible wings. If you want extra extra crispy wings go with double fried Korean style chicken at one of the places that does that specialty. Wings fried hard is an anathema to anyone with taste.

Just like when ordering a well done steak, if you order a hard fry, they're giving you the oldest wings they have so they don't have to toss them.
