1
Youll need two bowls to get this started.
-
2
In one bowl, pour in your buttermilk.
-
3
In another bowl, combine flour, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, garlic and onion powders.
-
4
Dip each wing in the buttermilk, then into the flour mixture.
-
5
Place on plate.
-
6
Once youve dipped all the wings, allow them to hang out on the plate for about half an hour until the coating gets pasty looking.
-
7
In a Dutch oven or cast iron skillet (or a fryer if you have one), heat oil to 375F degrees (using a thermometer to get an accurate temperature).
-
8
Begin to fry the wings in batches (about 4-5 at a time).
-
9
Fry them for about 8-10 minutes.
-
10
They should begin to take on a nice golden brown color when they start to get done.
-
11
If you are frying in a cast-iron skillet, I recommend moving the wings and flipping them around as you go so they dont stick to the bottom or get too dark in one spot.
-
12
Make sure your skillet is only about 1/2 full of oil before you begin frying.
-
13
When wings are finished, place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain off the extra oil.
-
14
Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, melt 1/2 cup of butter in the microwave.
-
15
When melted, add in hot sauce and pepper.
-
16
At this point I dip my finger in and see how Im liking the taste.
-
17
Sometimes you want more pepper or maybe a little more seasoning or a little more hot sauce.
-
18
When all your wings are finished, start coating them in the hot sauce mixture.
-
19
Put about 4-5 wings at a time in the bowl and just roll them around in the mixture until fully coated.
-
20
Keep going until all wings are coated.
-
21
Cooks Notes: I realize that many folks may like their wings much hotter (or milder).
-
22
Please adjust seasonings as you see fit since its a matter of taste.
-
23
Sometimes we like a hotter wing so Ill add more hot sauce as well as a little bit of cayenne pepper and garlic powder.
-
24
Also, if youre making more wings, this recipe is easily doubled or tripled.
