I think rules for doing that vary locally. You might try a local city/county/state search. Whatever you do, don't dump it down your sink. Either it goes in the garbage (I just save an old jar or two and pour it in there to dispose), or there may be a drop off location for oils in your city -- I think that's usually if you're near a drinking water supply, but not sure what the rules are.

My wing cravings are cured by the grill. I was planning on doing some tonight but now see Chicago is expecting big storms. If you have a grill, give it a try. High heat grill, season the wings well (for me it's salt, pepper, cayenne, and garlic powder), and grill them for about 25 minutes. The skin will get crispy like a deep fryer but they'll also pick up a deeper flavor than you get from the fryer. Then remove them from the grill into a big bowl and toss with your favorite sauce. Overall, a little less crispy but more flavorful. I prefer them over restaurant wings but you have to set aside 45 minutes or so to make them, not nearly as quick as the fryer.
