Description
Delicious and crispy fried chicken wings, perfect for game nights or family gatherings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 lbs chicken wings
- 17 fl oz vegetable or canola oil
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp paprika
- 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
- 1 whole egg
Instructions
- Start by rinsing your chicken wings under cold water. Pat them dry with paper towels.
- In a large mixing bowl, toss the wings with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and cayenne pepper for 10-15 minutes.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the egg until frothy. Dip the seasoned wings in the egg mixture.
- Now, toss the egg-coated wings into the flour, ensuring they’re completely covered.
- In a heavy-bottomed pot or deep fryer, heat your oil over medium-high heat to around 350°F (175°C).
- Carefully lower the coated wings into the hot oil, frying them in batches for about 8-10 minutes until golden brown.
- Once fried, use a slotted spoon to remove the wings and let them drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
- Serve your crispy fried chicken wings hot, with your favorite dipping sauces on the side.
Notes
For a healthier version, you can bake the wings at 425°F (220°C) for about 40-45 minutes.
