Description
Irresistibly crispy chicken wings infused with rich, flavorful Southern seasonings. Perfect for gatherings or cozy nights in.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 lbs chicken wings
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- 1 tablespoon hot sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Vegetable oil (for frying)
- Your choice of dipping sauce (ranch or blue cheese)
Instructions
- Begin by rinsing the chicken wings under cold water and patting them dry with paper towels.
- In a large bowl, combine buttermilk, hot sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken wings to the marinade, cover, and let them sit in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight for maximum flavor.
- In a deep skillet or fryer, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).
- Once marinated, remove the wings from the refrigerator. Carefully coat the wings in a bit of flour if you want them extra crispy. Fry the wings in batches for about 10-12 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Once cooked, place the wings on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- Enjoy your delicious chicken wings hot with your favorite dipping sauce!
Notes
To keep wings fresh, refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days. Serve creatively with celery and carrot sticks.
