Ingredients:
– 2 lbs chicken wings, split at joints and tips removed
– 1 cup all-purpose flour
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon onion powder
– 1 teaspoon paprika
– 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
– 1 cup buttermilk
– Vegetable oil for frying
– Optional: your favorite hot sauce, honey, or BBQ sauce for tossing
Instructions:
1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to ensure the seasonings are evenly distributed throughout the flour.
2. Pour the buttermilk into a separate bowl large enough to dip the chicken wings. This will be your wet batter station.
3. Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet or Dutch oven to 350°F (180°C) for frying.
4. Take a piece of chicken wing and dip it into the buttermilk, ensuring it is fully coated.
5. Next, dredge the chicken wing in the seasoned flour mixture, pressing gently to help the batter adhere to the wing. Shake off any excess flour before carefully placing the wing into the hot oil.
6. Fry the chicken wings in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for about 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the wings are golden brown and cooked through.
7. Once the wings are cooked, transfer them to a wire rack set over a baking sheet to drain any excess oil.
8. If you prefer saucy wings, toss the fried wings in your favorite hot sauce, honey, or BBQ sauce while they are still hot for a flavor-packed finish.
9. Serve your crispy Chicken Wing Batter wings hot alongside your favorite dipping sauces, celery sticks, and carrot sticks for a classic wing night experience!
