Method
Preparation
- 1
Marinate the Chicken
In a large bowl, combine the buttermilk, hot sauce, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until smooth. Add the chicken wings to the bowl, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best flavor.

Prepare the Coating
In a separate bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, paprika, onion powder, cayenne pepper, additional salt, and additional black pepper. Stir until well combined and set aside.
Frying
- 3
Heat the Oil
In a large heavy-bottomed pot or deep fryer, pour in the vegetable oil. Heat the oil to 350°F (175°C) over medium-high heat. Use a thermometer for accuracy.
- 4
Coat the Chicken Wings
Remove the marinated chicken wings from the refrigerator. Allow any excess marinade to drip off, then dredge each wing in the flour mixture, ensuring an even coating. Shake off any excess flour.
- 5
Fry the Wings
Carefully place the coated wings in the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for about 8-10 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through, turning occasionally for even cooking.

Drain and Serve
Once cooked, use a slotted spoon to remove the wings from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
