Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken wings
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup cornstarch
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 4 cups vegetable oil
Instructions
Prepare the chicken wings by cutting them at the joints to separate the drumettes, flats, and tips. Discard the wing tips or save them for making stock.
In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, cornstarch, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and cayenne pepper. Mix well until thoroughly combined.
In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and buttermilk until smooth.
Dip each chicken wing piece into the egg and buttermilk mixture, making sure it is well-coated.
Transfer the wing from the liquid mixture into the flour mixture, and toss each piece to ensure it is thoroughly coated with the flour mixture. Press the flour onto the wings to help it adhere better.
Place the coated wings on a baking sheet or large plate and let them rest for at least 10 minutes to help the coating adhere better and dry out slightly.
In a large, deep skillet or Dutch oven, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to maintain a consistent temperature.
Carefully place the chicken wings in the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry the wings in batches if necessary.
Cook the wings for about 7-8 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown, crispy, and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Remove the wings from the oil using a slotted spoon and place them on a wire rack or paper towels to drain excess oil.
Serve the crispy fried chicken wings hot with your favorite dipping sauce or as part of a meal.
