Ingredients
For the seasoning
- 1 ½ teaspoons paprika
- 1 teaspoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon lemon pepper
- ½ teaspoon poultry seasoning
For the wings
- 12 chicken wings flats and drumettes separated, tips saved to make stock
- 3 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons your favorite hot sauce or less, to taste
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- vegetable oil for frying
- Your favorite wing sauce
- Blue cheese dressing or your favorite, for dipping
Instructions
- Combine all of the seasoning ingredients, breaking up any clumps.
- Place wings in a baking dish or bowl. Sprinkle with the seasoning and toss to coat well. Cover and refrigerate for 1-2 hours.
- Heat 2-3" of oil to 350 F in a deep fryer or Dutch oven.
- Whisk together the eggs and the hot sauce in a shallow bowl.
- Place flour and salt in a shallow bowl and stir to combine.
- Remove wings from fridge. Dip the wings in the egg mixture and coat well. Shake off any excess.
- Roll wings in the flour mixture and shake off any excess.
- Working in batches if needed, fry the wings for 8-10 minutes, rotating gently to ensure they get cooked evenly. The wings will be golden brown. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
- You can toss the wings with Buffalo wing sauce if desired. I prefer to brush the wings with the sauce to keep from knocking the batter off of the wings. Or I serve the sauce on the side and dip the wings in it as I go. Click here for our guide on how to sauce your wings.
- Serve with your favorite dressing for dipping, if desired.
Notes
Serve with your favorite dipping sauce on the side, if desired.
