Ingredients
Scale
- 2 lbs chicken wings
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- Oil for frying
Instructions
- Prepare the Marinate: In a large bowl, whisk together buttermilk, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Add the chicken wings and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
- Preheat the Oil: Heat enough oil in a large pot or deep fryer to submerge the wings about 3 inches deep at a temperature of 350°F (175°C).
- Coat the Wings: In a separate bowl, mix flour and seasonings. Remove wings from the marinade, and dredge each wing in the flour mixture.
- Fry the Wings: Carefully add wings to the hot oil in batches for 10-12 minutes until they are golden brown and crispy. Ensure wings reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- Drain and Serve: Remove wings from the oil and place them on a wire rack or paper towels to drain excess oil.
- For additional flavor, toss fried wings in your favorite sauce before serving.
Notes
Experiment with different spices for unique flavor profiles. Keep an eye on the oil temperature for optimal crispiness.
