Fried Chicken Wings Ingredients
Method
Fried Chicken Wings Directions
- 1
Prepare the Chicken
In a large bowl, toss the chicken wings with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and cayenne pepper. Make sure the wings are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight for best results.
- 2
Dredge in Buttermilk and Flour
Set up a dredging station. In one bowl, pour the buttermilk. In another bowl, combine the flour with salt and pepper. Dip each wing first in the buttermilk, allowing excess to drip off, then coat in the flour mixture, shaking off the excess.
- 3
Heat the Oil
In a large deep skillet or fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
- 4
Fry the Wings
Carefully add the dredged chicken wings to the hot oil in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 10-12 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through, turning occasionally.
- 5
Drain and Serve
Once cooked, 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.
