Ingredients

  • 2 lbs Chicken Wings
  • 3 Eggs
  • ¼ Cup Milk
  • 1 Tablespoon Louisiana Style Hot Sauce
  • 2 Cups Flour
  • 2 Tsp Salt
  • Oil (for frying (I use Canola, Vegetable also works great))
  • ½ Cup Lard (I used Butter Crisco, or Butter)
  • 3 Tablespoons Cayenne Pepper (Nashville Hot is really hot, if you want a milder version use 1 Tablespoon of Cayenne)
  • 1 Tablespoon Brown Sugar
  • ½ tsp Paprika
  • ½ tsp Garlic Powder
  • 3/4 tsp Salt
  • 1 tsp Black Pepper
  • Sliced White Bread
  • Dill Pickle Slices

Instructions

  • Preheat the oil in your deep fryer or a cast iron skillet to 360°.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk the milk, eggs, and hot sauce until combined. In another medium bowl, whisk together the flour and 2 tsp salt.
  • Pat chicken wings dry. Dredge each wing in the milk/egg mixture, then in the flour, then back in the egg mixture and again in the flour. Make sure to shake the excess off after each step.
  • Fry the wings in batches. Fry them until crispy and golden brown, about 10 minutes. Remove from fryer and place on a baking rack.
  • To make the hot coating, melt the butter or Crisco in a heatproof bowl. Add the cayenne pepper, brown sugar, salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder. Whisk together until well combined.
  • Baste the hot mixture over each side of the wings. Garnish with pickles and white bread. Serve immediately.
