Cut the chicken wings into three parts: drumette, flat, and tip. Discard the wing tips or save them for making stock.
In a large bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and eggs. Submerge the chicken wings in this mixture and let them marinate for about 15 minutes (or up to 4 hours in the refrigerator for enhanced flavor).
In another large bowl, combine the flour, cornstarch, salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper. Mix well to create the breading mixture.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep pot or fryer to 350°F (175°C). Make sure the oil is deep enough to fully submerge the wings.
Remove a chicken wing from the buttermilk mixture, letting the excess drip off, then dredge it thoroughly in the breading mixture. Press the wing lightly to ensure the breading adheres and creates a good coating. Repeat with all the wings.
Carefully place the coated wings into the hot oil in small batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for 10–12 minutes or until the wings are golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Using a slotted spoon or tongs, remove the wings from the oil and place them on a wire rack or paper towels to drain excess oil.
Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce or sides, like ranch dressing, blue cheese dip, or celery sticks.
