Method
Marinating
- 1
Prepare the Marinade
In a large bowl, combine the buttermilk, hot sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
- 2
Marinate the Chicken
Add the chicken wings to the marinade, ensuring they are fully submerged. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to penetrate the meat.
Breading

Prepare the Breading Mixture
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper.

Coat the Chicken Wings
Remove the marinated chicken wings from the refrigerator. Working in batches, dredge each wing in the breading mixture, shaking off any excess flour. Place the coated wings on a wire rack to rest for 15 minutes.
Frying
- 5
Heat the Oil
In a large, heavy pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
- 6
Fry the Chicken Wings
Carefully add the breaded chicken wings to the hot oil in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- 7
Drain and Serve
Using a slotted spoon, transfer the fried wings to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
