Ingredients

Ingredients:

  • 12 chicken wings and/or legs
  • 2 cups of buttermilk
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp hot sauce (add an extra tsp or two if you'd like your wings a little more spicy)
  • Salt and pepper (the recipe I followed did not give an exact measurement and I definitely did not put in enough. I would say to be pretty generous)
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 ½ tsp baking soda
  • 2 cups of flour
  • Canola oil for the deep fryer

Instructions

Directions:

  • Pour oil into deep fryer and turn on to heat.
  • Wash off the chicken wings/legs and pat dry. Set aside.
  • In a bowl, combine the buttermilk, eggs, paprika, hot sauce, salt, and pepper.
  • In another bowl, combine the baking powder and baking soda and then pour into wet ingredients and whisk together.
  • In another bowl, place the flour.
  • Now put each wing/leg into the flour (covering completely on all sides), then into the buttermilk mixture, and then back into the flour once more.
  • Once all wings/legs have been covered, begin to drop into the heated oil.
  • Let the wings/legs cook for 10-12 minutes each (I have a small fryer so I fried 3-4 wings at a time).
  • Remove each wing/leg and place on a paper towel to dry off excess oil.
  • Let cool, dip into your favorite sauce, and try not to leave too many crumbs behind.
