Method
Preparation
- 1
Season the Wings
In a large bowl, combine the chicken wings, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Toss well to coat the wings evenly with the seasonings.
- 2
Marinate the Wings
Pour the buttermilk over the seasoned wings, ensuring they are all submerged. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or preferably overnight for more flavor.

Prepare the Flour Coating
In a separate bowl, add the flour. You may season the flour with additional salt and pepper if desired.
Frying

Heat the Oil
In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer for accuracy.

Coat the Wings
Remove the marinated wings from the refrigerator. Dredge each wing in the seasoned flour, shaking off any excess flour.

Fry the Wings
Carefully place the coated wings into the hot oil in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for 8-10 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to remove them from the oil and drain on paper towels.
