Chicken Wings
Sauce (optional)
Method
Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Chicken Wings
Rinse the chicken wings under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. This will help the skin become crispy when fried.
- 2
Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Mix well until the dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
Cooking
- 3
Coat the Chicken Wings
Toss the chicken wings in the flour mixture until they are fully coated. Shake off any excess flour.
- 4
Heat the Oil
In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). You can test if the oil is ready by dropping a small amount of the flour mixture into the oil; it should sizzle immediately.
- 5
Fry the Wings
Carefully add the coated chicken wings to the hot oil in batches. Fry for about 10-12 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy. Make sure not to overcrowd the pot.
- 6
Drain the Wings
Once cooked, remove the wings from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Sauce (optional)
- 7
Toss in Sauce
If desired, toss the fried chicken wings in your choice of sauce (Buffalo, BBQ, or Honey garlic) in a large bowl until evenly coated.
