Spicy Chicken Wings

Spicy Chicken Wings

12 wings

1  cup buttermilk

1/4 cup processed hot sauce or 1 cup of my homemade Pepper Broth (Recipe in another post)

COMBINE ALL AND MARINATE FOR AT LEAST AN HOUR. THE LONGER THE BETTER. UPON REMOVING PLACE IN A SINGLE LAYER ON A COOLING RACK TO DRAIN EXCESS AND PAT MOSTLY DRY

1 1/2 cups flour

1tsp cayenne pepper

1 tsp black pepper

1/4 tsp chili powder

MIX DRY INGREDIENTS TOGETHER WELL. TOSS MARINATED WINGS ONE AT A TIME IN FLOUR MIXTURE.

ONCE ALL WINGS ARE BATTERED FRY IN BATCHES AT 360 DEGREES FOR 5-7 MINUTES

Once done place on cooling rack over paper towels to cool and sprinkle with a little salt. Paper towels catch grease, using a rack allows air to flow resulting in nice crunch instead of soggy and greasy. *** For a crunchier crust I will add a couple steps.

1. Once marinated and floured, dip each wing in an egg wash (1-2 beaten eggs and 2 teaspoons cayenne.

2. Take each egg washed wing and toss in Panko breadcrumbs and fry.

*** Quicker

Skip the marinade. Add the hot sauce/pepper broth to your egg wash. Flour wings, dip in egg wash, roll in Panko mixture and fry.
