Butter Toss Sauce (Optional)

Method

Prep and Fry Wings

  1. 1

    Dry the wings

    Pat the chicken wings dry thoroughly with paper towels to ensure they fry up crispy.

  2. 2

    Heat oil

    In a large heavy-bottomed pot or deep fryer, heat vegetable oil to 375°F (190°C).

  3. 3

    Fry wings

    Fry the wings in batches for 10–12 minutes, or until golden brown and fully cooked (internal temperature of at least 165°F/74°C).

  4. 4

    Drain wings

    Remove wings from oil and drain on a wire rack or paper towel-lined plate.

Season and Toss

  1. 5

    Prepare seasoning mix

    In a small bowl, combine Old Bay seasoning, garlic powder, paprika, and black pepper.

  2. 6

    Toss wings with seasoning

    Place hot wings in a large bowl, sprinkle with the seasoning mix, and toss well to coat evenly.

Optional Butter Toss

  1. 7

    Make butter toss sauce

    Mix melted butter with Old Bay seasoning in a small bowl.

  2. 8

    Toss wings in butter sauce

    Drizzle the butter mixture over the seasoned wings and toss to coat for extra flavor.
