Ingredients:

  • 2 lbs chicken wings, separated
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 tablespoon hot sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • Vegetable or peanut oil, for frying

Instructions:

  1. In a large bowl, combine buttermilk, hot sauce, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, pepper, and salt. Add chicken wings and marinate for at least 2 hours, or overnight.
  2. In a shallow dish, whisk together flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, pepper, and salt.
  3. Heat oil to 275°F (135°C). Dredge each wing in flour mixture, shaking off excess. Fry in batches for 8-10 minutes, until cooked through but pale.
  4. Remove wings and place on a wire rack to cool for 15-20 minutes.
  5. Increase oil temperature to 350°F (175°C). Fry wings in batches for 3-5 minutes, until golden brown and crispy.
  6. Remove wings and place on a wire rack to drain excess oil. Serve immediately.
