– Salt and pepper to taste– 2 cups buttermilk– 1 tsp hot sauce (optional for extra flavor)– Vegetable oil for frying
Prep the Wings: Start by patting the chicken wings dry with paper towels. This ensures a crispy coating. If you prefer, marinate them in buttermilk and hot sauce for a few hours for added flavor.
Season and Coat: Mix flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Dip each wing into the seasoned flour mixture, coating them thoroughly.
Fry: Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan to 375°F (190°C). Fry the wings in batches, cooking for about 8-10 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
Serve: Drain the wings on paper towels to remove excess oil. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
