Ingredients
🍗 1 kg chicken wings
🌶️ 1 tablespoon hot sauce
🧂 Assorted spices (e.g., garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper)
🥛 1 cup buttermilk
🍚 2 cups all-purpose flour
🌶️ 1 tablespoon paprika
🧂 1 teaspoon seasoning salt
🛢️ Oil for frying (vegetable or canola oil)
🍯 Sweet and spicy sauce (such as a blend of honey and sriracha)
Instructions
1- Prepare the Chicken:
- In a large bowl, season the chicken wings with your choice of assorted spices and the hot sauce. Mix well to ensure the wings are fully coated.
- Pour the buttermilk over the seasoned wings, stirring to combine. Allow the chicken to marinate for at least 30 minutes or refrigerate overnight for best results.
2- Prepare the Flour Dredge:
- In another bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, paprika, and any additional spices you prefer.
- Mix well to create an even flour mixture for coating the chicken wings.
3- Coat the Chicken:
- Remove the wings from the buttermilk mixture, allowing any excess to drip off.
- Dredge each wing in the flour mixture, ensuring a generous, even coating.
4- Heat the Oil:
- In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the oil over medium-high heat.
- Add the seasoning salt to the oil for added flavor.
5- Fry the Chicken:
- Carefully place the flour-dredged wings into the hot oil.
- Fry the wings in batches, avoiding overcrowding, until they are golden brown and crispy (about 8-10 minutes per batch).
- Remove the wings from the oil and drain on a wire rack or paper towels to remove excess oil.
6- Serve:
- Arrange the fried chicken wings on a serving plate.
- Drizzle with your preferred sweet and spicy sauce, giving them a shiny, flavorful finish.
7- Enjoy:
- Serve immediately for best taste and texture.
