Ingredients

Rinse the chicken wings and pat them dry with paper towels.

In a large bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper.

Add the chicken wings to the bowl and toss to coat.

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.

Preheat the oil in a deep frying pan or a deep fryer to 350°F.

In a separate bowl, mix together the flour and a pinch of salt.

Remove the chicken wings from the buttermilk mixture, allowing any excess to drip off.

Dredge the chicken wings in the flour mixture, shaking off excess.

Carefully place the coated chicken wings in the hot oil.

Fry for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.

Repeat with the remaining chicken wings.

Using a slotted spoon, remove the fried chicken wings from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Serve hot and enjoy!

This recipe makes 4 servings, so adjust the ingredient quantities if you’re feeding a larger crowd or having a party.

Make sure to plan ahead, as the chicken wings need at least 2 hours or overnight in the buttermilk mixture.

If you want your fried chicken wings extra crispy, chill them in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before frying to help the coating adhere.

Use a thermometer to ensure the oil reaches 350°F for perfect frying.

Don’t overcrowd the pot, fry in batches if necessary, to prevent the chicken wings from sticking together.

For extra crunchy coating, don’t shake off excess flour mixture, it’s okay to have a little extra.

Be careful when working with hot oil, never leave it unattended and make sure kids are away while frying.
