Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces Chicken wings
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Paprika
- 1 tablespoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 1 cup Buttermilk
- 4 cups Vegetable oil
Instructions
In a large bowl, mix the buttermilk with 1/2 tablespoon of salt. Add the chicken wings to the bowl and allow them to marinate in the buttermilk for at least 30 minutes or up to 4 hours in the refrigerator for maximum flavor.
In another large mixing bowl, combine the flour, paprika, remaining 1/2 tablespoon of salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper. This is your seasoned coating mix.
Remove the chicken wings from the buttermilk and let any excess liquid drip off. Dredge each wing in the seasoned flour mixture, ensuring they are evenly coated. For extra crispiness, dip the coated wings back into the buttermilk and coat them in the flour mixture again. Set aside the coated wings.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep fryer or a large, heavy-bottomed pot to 350°F (175°C). Be sure to use enough oil to completely submerge the wings.
Carefully place the wings into the hot oil in small batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the fryer or pot. Fry the wings for 8–10 minutes or until they are golden brown and cooked through, with an internal temperature of at least 165°F (74°C).
Remove the wings from the oil and place them on a wire rack or a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Serve the wings hot with your favorite dipping sauce or sides.
