Ingredients
Scale
Meat:
- 2 lbs (0.9 kg) chicken wings
Seasoning Blend:
- 1/2 cup (60 g) all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
Cooking Ingredient:
- Vegetable oil, for frying
Instructions
- Combine all dry seasonings in a spacious mixing vessel, creating a flavorful coating mixture.
- Thoroughly dredge chicken wings in the seasoned flour, ensuring complete and even coverage.
- Prepare deep frying equipment, heating oil to a precise 375°F for optimal crispy texture.
- Carefully lower wings into hot oil, maintaining small batch sizes to preserve temperature stability.
- Fry wings for approximately 10-12 minutes, rotating occasionally to achieve uniform golden-brown coloration.
- Remove wings using a slotted spoon, allowing excess oil to drain on layered absorbent paper towels.
- Let wings rest momentarily to ensure optimal crispness and complete cooking throughout the meat.
- Transfer to serving platter, ready to be enjoyed with complementary side dishes.
Notes
- Ensure wings are patted completely dry before coating to achieve maximum crispiness and prevent soggy breading.
- Use a meat thermometer to check internal wing temperature reaches 165F for safe consumption without overcooking.
- Create gluten-free version by substituting all-purpose flour with almond flour or gluten-free cornmeal blend.
- Experiment with spice combinations like adding cayenne for heat or smoked paprika for deeper flavor complexity.
