Ingredients
- 2 pounds Chicken wings
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cups Cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 2 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 cups Buttermilk
- 2 tablespoons Hot sauce
- 4 cups Vegetable oil
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the chicken wings under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Cut the wings into flats and drumettes, discarding the wing tips, if desired.
Step 2
In a large bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and hot sauce. Add the chicken wings to the mixture, ensuring they are fully submerged. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results.
Step 3
In another large bowl, mix the flour, cornstarch, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper.
Step 4
Remove the chicken wings from the buttermilk mixture, allowing the excess to drip off. Dredge each wing in the seasoned flour mixture, pressing gently to adhere the coating. Place the coated wings on a wire rack and let them rest for 10 minutes to set the coating.
Step 5
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep frying pan or Dutch oven to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to maintain the temperature for even frying.
Step 6
Working in batches, carefully place the wings in the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Fry the wings for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F or 74°C).
Step 7
Remove the wings from the oil and place them on a wire rack or paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Step 8
Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce and enjoy Pat's Spicy Fried Wings!
