Seasoning Mix:
2 tablespoons ground paprika
1 tablespoon ground black pepper
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 tablespoon seasoned salt
2 teaspoons cayenne pepper
1 1/2 teaspoons onion powder
1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 teaspoon ground white pepper
1 teaspoon mustard powder
2 pounds chicken wings
2 cups vegetable oil, or as needed
2 cups peanut oil, or as needed

1
Mix paprika, black pepper, chili powder, seasoned salt, cayenne pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, white pepper, and mustard powder together in a bowl until seasoning mix is evenly combined. Dry chicken wings thoroughly with a paper towel.
2
Heat enough vegetable oil and peanut oil in a deep cast iron pot or heavy pot to reach a depth of about 2 inches; bring to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
3
Split wings into 2 batches and fry each batch in the hot oil, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer each batch to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
4
Increase oil temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Fry each batch of wings in the hot oil until skin is crispy, golden brown and meat is no longer pink in the center, 5 to 6 minutes. Drain wings on a paper towel-lined plate; transfer to a bowl.
5
Sprinkle seasoning mix over cooked wings and toss to evenly coat.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.
