Crispy and succulent buttermilk fried chicken wings recipe

These buttermilk fried chicken wings are marinated in a tangy buttermilk mixture, coated in a seasoned flour mixture, and then fried to crispy perfection. The buttermilk marinade helps tenderize the chicken and adds a subtle tangy flavor that pairs perfectly with the crispy coating.

Ingredients

• 2 lbs chicken wings
• 2 cups buttermilk
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp paprika
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp onion powder
• 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Oil for frying

Directions

1. In a large bowl, mix the buttermilk, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken wings and marinate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
2. In a separate bowl, mix the flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper.
3. Dredge the marinated chicken wings in the flour mixture, making sure they are evenly coated.
4. Heat oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F. Fry the chicken wings in batches until golden brown and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes per batch.
5. Remove the chicken wings from the oil and drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Serve hot and enjoy!
