Preparing the Wings

Preheat the Oil
In a large pot or deep fryer, heat vegetable oil to 375°F (190°C).

Season the Wings
In a large bowl, combine salt, black pepper, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, and paprika. Toss the chicken wings in the spice mixture until they are evenly coated.

Fry the Wings
Carefully lower the seasoned chicken wings into the hot oil in batches, avoiding overcrowding. Fry for 8-10 minutes or until the wings are golden brown and cooked through. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
