Servings: persons

3 pounds chicken wings
4 cups buttermilk
1/2 cup lard
1 cup flour
1/2 cup cayenne
6 tablespoons dried minced onion or onion powder
6 tablespoons dried minced garlic or garlic powder
6 tablespoons paprika
4 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons salt
2 tablespoons black pepper

1
Mix all master spice mix ingredients and separate into three equal portions.
2
In a large bowl combine 1/3 master spice mix and four cups buttermilk, and three pounds chicken wings. Cover and chill for as long as possible (4 hours to overnight).
3
Rinse the brined wing pieces and pat dry.
4
Mix one cup of flour with another 1/3 of the master spice mix. Dredge the chicken wing pieces in the flour/spice mixture, shaking off any excess. Set aside.
5
Heat your oil to 325 F / 170 C.
6
Fry the wings for 8-10 minutes, until the internal temperature reaches 165 F. The wings will splatter so its a good idea to have a lid nearby! Take the wings out and drain on a paper bag or paper towels.
7
Place 1/2 cup of lard in a saucepan and sprinkle over the last 1/3 of your master spice mix. Once the lard is melted and warm, stir the mixture, and take it off the heat. Immediately baste your fried wings with the lard/spice mix and serve right away!
