Instructions
Step 1
Pour oil to a depth of 2" in a 6-qt. Dutch oven and heat over medium-high heat until a deep-fry thermometer reads 300°. Whisk flour, wine, and salt in a bowl. Separate parsley into individual sprigs and, working with one at a time, dip into batter. Fry, turning once until crisp, 30–45 seconds. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to paper towels to drain. Season with salt, and serve immediately.
