Heat 2-3" of oil in a deep fryer or Dutch oven to 350 F. While the oil is heating, prepare the wings.
Combine the 2 1/2 tablespoons of mix and water in a small bowl. I like to use a whisk to get the mix well distributed.
Place the 1/4 cup of mix in a flat bowl such as a small salad bowl.
Working in batches as needed, first coat the wings in the wet mix. Get them all good and wet on all sides.
Transfer the wings to the dry mix and roll them around, pressing lightly, to coat completely. Add more mix if you need it. Don't be shy!
Fry the wings 8-12 minutes or until they reach 165 F. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
Serve with your favorite sauce for dipping.

I recommend dipping your wings in sauce instead of tossing them in the sauce. Tossing will knock off that beautiful crunchy batter!
