Ingredients
- 2 pounds Chicken wings
- 2 cups Buttermilk
- 2 tablespoons Hot sauce
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking powder
- 4 cups Vegetable oil
Directions
Step 1
Begin by prepping the chicken wings. Rinse them under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. If necessary, separate the wings into drumettes and flats, discarding the wing tips.
Step 2
In a large bowl, mix the buttermilk and hot sauce. Add the chicken wings to the buttermilk mixture, ensuring they are fully submerged. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight for enhanced flavor.
Step 3
In another large bowl, combine the flour, cornstarch, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, black pepper, and baking powder. Mix well to create a seasoned coating.
Step 4
Heat the vegetable oil in a large, deep pot or Dutch oven to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to ensure the oil stays at the correct temperature for frying.
Step 5
Remove the wings from the buttermilk marinade, allowing the excess to drip off. Dredge each wing in the flour mixture, pressing gently to ensure the coating adheres well. Place the coated wings on a baking sheet or plate.
Step 6
Once the oil is heated, carefully place a few wings into the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pot. Fry the wings for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F or 74°C).
Step 7
Use a slotted spoon or tongs to remove the wings from the oil and place them on a wire rack lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Step 8
Repeat the frying process with the remaining wings, ensuring the oil temperature returns to 350°F between batches.
Step 9
Serve Claritha's Fried Chicken Wings hot with your favorite dipping sauces or sides. Enjoy!
