Calories 537kcal
Ingredients
For the wings
- 3-4 pounds chicken wings flats and drumettes separated, tips saved to make stock
- vegetable oil for frying
For the coating (feel free to add your favorite wing seasoning too!)
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ teaspoon paprika
- ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
Instructions
- Add enough oil to a deep fryer or Dutch oven to cook the wings. Bring to 375 F.
- Rinse wings and pat dry. Transfer to a large bowl.
- Combine the coating ingredients and sprinkle some (but not all) over the wings. Toss to coat. If the wings don't get fully coated add some more coating. You might have leftover coating.
- Working in batches, transfer wings to the oil and fry 5-6 minutes per side, flipping once.
- Remove to a paper towel-lined plate then to a wire rack to cool slightly.
- Toss with your favorite seasoning and/or sauce and serve.
